Tree tunnel on path between Kentsford Farm & Washford The coastal path between Watchet and Blue Anchor is currently closed (October 2021) but this attractive alternative route takes you inland and goes via this 'tree tunnel' for about a mile between Kentsford Farm and Washford. This was once the route of the West Somerset Mineral Railway which carried iron ore from mines in the Brendon Hills to the coast at Watchet.
