OnlineThis live camera at the Watchet Visitor Centre and Boat Museum follows the curving tracks of the West Somerset Railway as they sweep past the harbour of this characterful Somerset port.

Everything you need to know about this live stream
West Somerset Railway
The camera frames the running line of the West Somerset Railway, England's longest standard-gauge heritage railway. Vintage steam and diesel services thread the curve here on their journey between Bishops Lydeard and Minehead, making the spot a favourite with trainspotters.
Watchet Harbour and Marina
Behind the tracks lies the sheltered Watchet Marina, where yachts and small craft rest against the historic quay. The tidal Bristol Channel beyond carries one of the largest tidal ranges in the world.
A Historic Somerset Port
Once a busy industrial harbour shipping iron ore and paper, Watchet is now a charming visitor town of narrow streets, galleries and the Boat Museum that hosts this view.
What You Can See
Look for passing heritage trains, the distinctive rooflines of the Visitor Centre, moored boats and the wide sweep of the Somerset coast stretching toward the horizon.
