Highbridge
Highbridge is a tiny, previous market community located on the edge of the Somerset Levels near the mouth of the River Brue. It is in the Area of Somerset, and is about 20 miles (32.2 kilometres) north eastern of Taunton, the county town of Somerset. It is no more a market town, the market site is now a housing estate. Highbridge is in the District of Sedgemoor, being positioned around 7 miles (11.3 kilometres) north of Bridgwater, the area's management centre. Highbridge very closely neighbours Burnham-on-Sea, developing part of the consolidated parish of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge as well as shares a community council with the hotel town. In the 2001 census the population was 5,986. In the 2011 census the population of the community was included in the ward of Highbridge and Burnham Marine, which amounted to 7,555.
