The area around Watchet.
Watchet is a small harbour town on the west Somerset coast, with a marina, a heritage railway station and literary links to Coleridge's Ancient Mariner. Its cliffs are rich in fossils, and visitors come for the coast and steam railway in summer. Residents are a mix of older locals and newcomers, and customers across the area look for trades willing to travel along the coast, so naming Williton and nearby villages matters.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Minehead (7 miles), Wiveliscombe (10 miles), Dulverton (14 miles) and Bridgwater (15 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Watchet, the site can name areas such as Williton, Doniford, Old Cleeve, Washford, Blue Anchor and Sampford Brett.
Watchet (postcode area TA) sits about 33 miles north of Exeter.
