The harbour at Watchet, Somerset, is ripe with Coleridge atmosphere. It was overcast that day – which is the perfect time to visit the place that inspired the great poem. I’m sure that some people may take the poem, sit at the feet… and read. I decided to walk around, look at the sea, always evocative , then have tea and cake.
In 1797 Samuel Taylor Coleridge walked over the Quantock Hills from his home in Nether Stowey with his friends William and Dorothy Wordsworth, and there found Watchet. And the dark tale – more than a poem was created.
