Graced with notable edifices such as the Church of St Mary and Blake Museum, it’s also the birthplace of Admiral Blake.

Fabled battles, political upheavals, and civil rights movements all form part of Bridgwater's striking historical narrative.

When to visit Bridgwater

When planning your visit, aim for the balmy summer months of June, July, and August for delightful weather, perfect for exploring the town and its scenic surroundings.

Those seeking to conserve their budget might consider visiting in December, although do keep in mind, the charm of British summer will be replaced with colder temperatures. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Bridgwater, with its rich tapestry of history, culture and natural beauty, is always ready to welcome you.
