Blue Anchor

[1] The bay and inn were the subjects of a watercolour by J. M. W. Turner in 1818, now in the Lady Lever Gallery, Port Sunlight.

[3] The village lies on the route of the West Somerset Coast Path and Celtic Way Exmoor Option.

It is situated in the village and houses the museum of the West Somerset Steam Railway Trust.

The kiln is thought to have been used until the 1870s when the large-scale production of bricks in Bridgwater rendered small brickyards uneconomic.

[7] Coincidentally there is another Blue Anchor Inn directly north across the Bristol Channel in East Aberthaw, The Vale of Glamorgan.
