Aerial image Watchet,
A characterful harbour town on the Somerset coast, looking out across the Bristol Channel. Watchet’s maritime history stretches back to Saxon times, when it was an important trading and fishing port. The harbour you see today was rebuilt and modernised in the early 2000s, transforming it into a marina for leisure craft while retaining much of its historic charm. The red-topped lighthouse at the end of the west pier, first lit in 1862, remains one of the town’s best-known landmarks.
The jumble of narrow streets around the quay reflects Watchet’s medieval street plan, while the preserved railway line on the right links the town to the West Somerset Railway heritage route. It’s a place where centuries of maritime life meet a lively modern community — a perfect blend of history, sea air, and coastal character.

From the air, the extraordinary form of Old Sarum is unmistakable — a perfect concentric fortification set high above the Wiltshire countryside, its great earthwork rings etched clearly into the chalk landscape. This remarkable site marks the earliest settlement of Salisbury, with human occupation stretching back nearly 5,000 years. The outer ramparts, first raised in the Iron Age around 400 BC, enclosed an impressive 29 acres, later adapted and strengthened by successive Roman, Saxon, and Norman builders.
At the heart of the site lie the ruins of the Norman castle and cathedral — reminders of a time when Old Sarum was one of the most important strongholds in medieval England. William the Conqueror himself commissioned the royal castle here shortly after 1066, using it both as a fortress and an administrative centre. The cathedral, consecrated in 1092, was later abandoned when its clergy relocated to the valley below in the 13th century to found the “New Sarum” — today’s Salisbury — leaving the old hilltop citadel to fall into ruin.
Seen in evening light, the geometry of the ditches and banks is strikingly clear, emphasising how the landscape still carries the imprint of centuries of human endeavour. The chalk ridges, patchwork fields, and golden harvest tones surrounding the ancient ramparts give a sense of timeless continuity — a place where Britain’s layers of history remain visible in the very shape of the land.

The item in the middle at the very bottom of the picture is part of a floating jetty. Probably broke lose in a storm/flood and has been sweeped out but now lodged on a bank and can't be towed back to the harbour.
