| Railway
Visitors to the Holiday Bungalows can set their watches by the steam whistles of the West Somerset Railway, which pauses at the nearby Doniford Halt, 5 minutes walk away along the road. The locomotives can be seen from the windows of most of the bungalows, as the smoke and steam rises into the sky. This is a rare treat for railway enthusiasts, as the smell of steam and hot grease brings back childhood memories.

Doniford Bay Beach
Doniford Bay beach is five minutes walk from Court Farm and is renowned for its fossils. An interesting beach, great for crabbing, sitting on the rocks, walking, exploring, fossil finding, dog walking and much more. The sound of the waves from the beach can be clearly heard from Court Farm.
It is possible to walk across Doniford Beach to reach the historic town of Watchet.

Local Area
Court Farm is between Williton and Watchet.
Williton is ideal for grocery shops, bank, post office, petrol station and local shops, however Watchet has the advantage of being on the coast and has additional gift shops, tea rooms and places to eat.
Bridgwater is 26km from Court Farm and has many of the normal town shops.
Taunton is 27km from Court Farm and has the normal large department stores you would expect for town shopping.
The nearest train bus and coach stations are located in Taunton.
There are bus stops right outside Court Farm and timetables are available from our Reception.
One of the many Quantock Hills' rambler paths and Watchet harbour.
The Quantock Hills are a rambler's paradise.
