Join us for a walk
Join us for a walk in Bridgwater, Somerset, UK. We explore Bridgwater town centre, starting our walk on West Quay near the Fountain Inn with views of Bridgwater Town Bridge. We explore the main shopping streets of Fore Street and High Street in Bridgwater town centre.
Bridgwater is a large historic market town in Somerset, England. Its population currently stands at around 41,276 as of 2022. Bridgwater is at the edge of the Somerset Levels, in level and well-wooded country. The town lies along both sides of the River Parrett; it has been a major inland port and trading centre since the industrial revolution. Most of its industrial bases still stand today. Its larger neighbour, Taunton, is linked to Bridgwater via a canal, the M5 motorway and the GWR railway line.
Bridgwater town centre has a selection of well known and independent shops, plus lots of options for dining. Bridgwater Wetherspoons 'The Carnival Inn' takes its name from Bridgwater’s famous carnival. First held in 1882, the carnival takes place annually on the first Saturday in November and can be traced back to the gunpowder plot of 1605 when Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators, failed in their attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
Bridgwater is famous for Bridgwater Carnival, the largest illuminated procession in Europe, that attracts around 150,000 people from around the country and overseas. It consists of a display of 100 or more entries, many consisting of large vehicles (Carnival carts) up to 100 feet long festooned with dancers and up to 22,000 lightbulbs, that follows a 2.5-mile route over 2 to 3 hours. Later in the evening of the Carnival, there is the simultaneous firing of large fireworks (known as squibs) in the street outside the town hall, known as "squibbing".
Thanks for watching! We hope you enjoy this Bridgwater Walk.
