A Village Where History and Nature Intertwine
Waterrow's legacy is reflected in its time-honoured farmsteads and enchanting cottages. At its core, an ancient stone bridge arches over the River Tone, alongside which stands The Rock Inn, a local, highly acclaimed watering hole and restaurant that has garnered acclaim for its culinary prowess. The restaurant offers a menu that artfully blends modern cuisine with global influences.
For those with a penchant for nature, Waterrow's Local Nature Reserve is a veritable treasure trove of biodiversity. The Reserve encompasses a woodland-fringed river valley and a disused railway line that once linked Taunton to Ilfracombe. Here, the tall stone pillars of a long-gone viaduct stand sentinel, their weathered stones whispering tales of bygone eras and lending an air of intrigue to the landscape.
