Bridgwater was once a thriving port with an impressive ship building heritage, and associated trades such as rope making sprung up becoming an important part of the town. There were three rope walks in the town, a rope walk being where the hemp ropes were 'walked out' and laid flat and the sheds they used were long and narrow to accommodate the great lengths of the ropes. Although there are no longer any of these industries in the town they are commemorated today by rope embedded into the floor and around the benches along East Quay beside the River Parrett as a nod to the shipping and rope making industries in the town The last ship to be built in the town was the 'Irene' built in 1907 by F J Carver & Son and once owned by the Bridgwater Brick and Tile Company. Although now privately owned she is still in use today, and has even been used in a film about the Flying Dutchman, The PiP gives a longer view.

St Etheldreda's Church, also known as St Audries, West Quantoxhead, Somerset. The church was built between 1854 and 1856 on the site of a previous, smaller church which was demolished in 1853. It was designed by John Norton and is a Grade II listed building. It was constructed using local sandstone. The octagonal font, made of polished marble, dates from the 12th century and came from the original church.

Among the heathy hills and ragged woods The roaring Foyers pours his mossy floods; Till full he dashes on the rocky mounds, Where, through a shapeless breach, his stream resounds, As high in air the bursting torrents flow, As deep-recoiling surges foam below, Prone down the rock the whitening sheet descends, And viewless Echo's ear, astonish'd rends. Dim seen, through rising mists and ceaseless showers, The hoary cavern, wide-surrounding, lowers. Still, through the gap the struggling river toils, And still, below, the horrid cauldron boils.

Arisaig Morar

The Inn in the Glen -- Clachaig Inn, Glencoe

McCaig's Tower, Oban Built in 1897 by John Stuart McCaig , it provided work for local stonemasons and was intended to stand as a monument to his family. Unfortunately he died and it was never completed and it is now a public garden. It stands overlooking Oban, and is well worth a visit for the magnificent views.
