Bridgwater is a historic market town in the southern English county of Somerset. With a rich history and a festive spirit, many people come from all over Britain to visit this vibrant town.
Every November, this spirit flourishes when the town hosts the Bridgwater Carnival, Europe's largest illuminated procession of up to 100 brilliantly festooned carts and vehicles that parade through the town.
If you're not around for the carnival, then visit the Blake Museum to discover the town's surprising past as a port town and an important center of commerce. For those looking to enjoy some fresh air, take a walk up Burrow Mump to discover the ruins of a medieval church as well as a Second World War memorial. With a picturesque view from the summit, few other places so grandly display the quintessential English countryside.
Bridgwater's location in England makes it very reachable from around the U.K. Rail and bus services frequently run to Bridgwater Station from Bristol, York, and London. Bristol Airport is also only 30 miles from the town, with shuttle buses and trains connecting it to the town.
Taunton
Taunton is the county town of Somerset, in the south of England. Its 1,000-year history gives it a diverse mix of the old and the new and guarantees that there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
Take a walk through the newly-pedestrianized streets and take in the vastly diverse architecture that only an ancient town can offer, with the Perpendicular Gothic churches and many Georgian townhouses. Then, visit Taunton Castle for the Museum of Somerset and immerse yourself in the exciting history of the county.
If 21st-century pubs no longer excite you, head to the Tudor Tavern and take in the 16th-century exterior, with the interior said to date back to as early as the 14th century. Although not a tavern anymore, this bygone building is now a cafe, where visitors can sit back, relax, and enjoy the humbling feeling inspired by buildings that have stood the test of time.
For a more modern experience of the town, visit one of Taunton's vast shopping centers, or take a walk down the high street to discover local and independent shops.
