A place to relax while you go back in time.  Sea, sand, beautiful countryside, steam trains, many shoreline and clifftop walks, old fashioned cafe, tea-room  and inns.

*****

For your every day needs there is Blue Anchor Bay Park Shop at Home Farm which is next to the Smugglers by the seafront, this is where you can buy your fishing bait. There is also a general store at Hoburne Holiday Park on the seafront. 

Blue Anchor Bay has two pubs. The Smugglers is particularly recommended for it's really good food

and the Blue Anchor Inn where you can enjoy watching the sunset from it's gardens overlooking the bay.

The Driftwood is an old fashioned cafe on the seafront

and another cafe at Hoburne Holiday Park on the seafront.

 There is a tea-room at Home Farm where Alison bakes fresh scones for cream teas.  The children will be entertained here with toys available for them to play with, a large sandpit and lots of animals to see.

A short walk inland is Binham Grange, a Jacobean farm house who serve coffee, afternoon tea and evening meals in a beautiful setting of landscaped gardens and wide country views. You can visit their website at www.exmoor-restaurant.co.uk.

West Somerset Steam Railway passes through and Blue Anchor has it's own Station

There is a swimming pool at Hoburne. If you are staying in the caravan you can purchase a family pass for the week at £15 or £6 for three days. If you are staying in the chalet you pay per session.

The seafront at Blue Anchor is about a mile long and perfect for a stroll, with plenty of places to stop for refreshment along the way. 

When the tide is out large rock pools can be found at the far east of the bay.  If you take some nets you will be able to catch plenty of large prawns for tea.  Fish can be seen jumping on a hot day, waiting for the tide to return.  This is also the best place to find fossils.

The seafront is a popular spot for anglers, so don't forget to pack your rod if you have one.

There are lovely clifftop, shoreline and country walks.
