Highbridge
Highbridge is a tiny, previous market town positioned on the edge of the Somerset Degrees near the mouth of the River Brue. It remains in the County of Somerset, as well as is approximately 20 miles (32.2 km) north east of Taunton, the county town of Somerset. It is no longer a market community, the marketplace website is currently a housing estate. Highbridge is in the District of Sedgemoor, being located approximately 7 miles (11.3 kilometres) north of Bridgwater, the area's administrative centre. Highbridge very closely neighbours Burnham-on-Sea, forming part of the consolidated parish of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge and also shares a community council with the resort town. In the 2001 census the population was 5,986. In the 2011 census the population of the town was included in the ward of Highbridge and Burnham Marine, which completed 7,555.
