Additional Information:
At Combwich there should be ample on road parking on Riverside [that's the road's name and quite apt] between the Combwich Anchor pub and the Harbour.
At Bridgwater there is some on street parking in the road approaching the dock area from the roundabout at the junction of Lyndale Avenue and Coleridge Road. There may also be spaces in these and other adjacent roads. Please use due consideration and try not to block driveways or space obviously use by residents. Alternatively, there are numerous public car parks within a short walking distance, the nearest of which are in Mount Street.
