About

Watchet & Stogursey ward encompasses a stretch of Somerset's coastline and its immediate rural hinterland. The area includes the historic harbour town of Watchet, with its working marina and industrial heritage linked to paper and iron. Inland, the landscape transitions to the agricultural villages and farmland surrounding Stogursey, which is dominated by the notable Stogursey Castle, a medieval fortified manor house with later additions.

The geography is defined by the Bristol Channel coast and the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east. A specific local feature is the West Somerset Mineral Railway line, now a trail, which historically connected the iron mines of the Brendon Hills to Watchet's harbour. The economy blends tourism, small-scale port operations, and traditional farming across its varied settlements.
