New film set to attract 'more tourists' to area

A new film about a woman's 630-mile walk along the South West Coast Path with her terminally ill husband could attract more visitors to the area.

The Salt Path was written by Raynor Winn about her and her husband Moth's journey from Somerset to Dorset after they lost their home, livelihood and found out about his illness.

Starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Issacs, the film showcases Minehead, Porlock and other locations along the Exmoor Coast.

Councillor Mike Rigby, the lead member for economic development, planning and assets at Somerset Council, said: "Filming is great for the economy and attracting visitors to places seen on screen."
