Langport was formerly a river port on the Parrett, the story of the town and river is told graphically at the Visitor Centre at the western end of Bow Street.

This ancient market town is noted for its distinctive houses on Bow Street and the 'hanging chapel' gatehouse in the old town wall. Beyond the wall is the handsome parish church of adjacent Huish Episcopi with its magnificent Norman doorway.
