Local area guide
Skip hire in Burnham-on-Sea
Burnham-on-Sea is a coastal town in Somerset, sitting on Bridgwater Bay where the River Parrett meets the Bristol Channel, with a population of around 20,000 including neighbouring Highbridge. It was a fishing village until the early nineteenth century, when the Reverend David Davies sank a well in search of mineral water and set about promoting the place as a spa resort. The venture failed commercially but established Burnham as a seaside destination, and the arrival of the Somerset and Dorset Railway in 1858 cemented it.
The town's most distinctive feature is its lighthouses — three of them, built to guide vessels through the notoriously shifting sands of the bay. The Low Lighthouse, standing on nine wooden legs directly on the beach, is one of the most photographed structures on the Somerset coast and appears in countless images of the sunset over the Channel. The Round Tower and the High Lighthouse complete the group. Burnham also has the shortest pier in Britain, a small Edwardian pavilion structure on the Esplanade.
The beach is vast at low tide, with the Bristol Channel's tidal range — the second highest in the world — exposing miles of sand and mud. That has produced its own hazards, and the RNLI station at Burnham has a long and busy history of mud rescues. St Andrew's Church in the town centre leans noticeably from subsidence and contains a marble altarpiece by Grinling Gibbons and Christopher Wren, originally made for the chapel at Whitehall Palace and later given to the town.
Burnham sits immediately off junction 22 of the M5, with the A38 running through, and Highbridge and Burnham station on the Bristol to Taunton line giving services along the main line. The Somerset Levels lie inland, with the Mendip Hills to the north-east and Brean Down, a National Trust headland with a Victorian fort, a few miles north. Neighbouring communities include Highbridge, Berrow, Brean, Burnham-Without, East Brent and Bridgwater.
Housing in Burnham-on-Sea ranges from Victorian and Edwardian seafront villas and terraces along the Esplanade and Berrow Road — many converted into flats and holiday accommodation — to interwar bungalows, post-war estates and substantial modern development on the town's eastern edges. The town has a notably older population, with a high proportion of bungalows and retirement property, and the coast north towards Brean holds one of the largest concentrations of caravan and holiday parks in the country, which shapes much of the local economy and seasonal activity.
