Highbridge
Highbridge is a tiny, previous market town positioned on the edge of the Somerset Levels near the mouth of the River Brue. It is in the Region of Somerset, and is around 20 miles (32.2 km) north east of Taunton, the county town of Somerset. It is no longer a market community, the marketplace site is now a housing estate. Highbridge is in the District of Sedgemoor, being located roughly 7 miles (11.3 kilometres) north of Bridgwater, the district's administrative centre. Highbridge carefully neighbors Burnham-on-Sea, forming part of the consolidated parish of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge and also shares a town council with the resort community. 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 as well as Burnham Marine, which completed 7,555.
