For those wanting a different holiday, reminiscent of the great seaside holidays of the 1950s heres an opportunity to climb aboard a recently refurbished 100-year-old Great Western Railway camping coach. Located in a quiet siding at the Blue Anchor station on the West Somerset Railway Line, a short stroll from the long, wide sand and shingle beach, guests can experience the authenticity and carefree days of the GWR camping coach holidays, but with the advantage of modern facilities. Blue Anchor station is part of the picturesque West Somerset Steam Railway, where families and steam enthusiasts can enjoy the nostalgia of a bygone era of travel as well as involve themselves in the many themed events scheduled throughout the year (see their website for details). Sleeping 6, this comfortable carriage, presented in a classic seaside style is ideally placed to explore West Somerset, North Devon and Exmoor, including Dunster Castle, Porlock, Doniford fossil beach as well as Lynton and Lynmouth. Jump on the steam train and puff your way along a beautiful stretch of coastline to the seaside town of Minehead with all its attractions. Other places of interest include the ancient small harbour town of Watchet, Cleeve Abbey, the Bakelite Museum and some of the best cream tea places in Britain.
