WWT Steart Marshes

Highlight • Viewpoint

Steart Marshes lies at the mouth of the River Parrett and is a working wetland preserve. Home to a vast population of wildfowl and being an important part of the local flood defences, it’s a wonderful place to walk around.

Managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, there are salt and freshwater marshes here covering hundreds of hectares. Otters, egrets and wildfowl all call this their home and you’ll find plenty of hides dotted about to spy on them.

Anchor Inn & Historic Fives Wall

Highlight • Pub

The Anchor Inn dates back to around 1700 and has an 18th-century Fives Wall next to it. Fives is a ball game played by two or four players whereby the ball is hit with a (gloved) hand. This kind of hand-tennis game has many iterations and is now only really played by a handful of private schools.

Back in the day, Fives was played against church walls but, thanks to the damage caused, encouraged specific Fives Walls to be constructed. Few remain and the Anchor has one!

The pub itself is charming and is a favourite amongst locals for serving excellent food.
