The seat is based on the market town of Bridgwater in Somerset and currently incorporates significant portions of the surrounding north Somerset coast.
From Parliament's enactment of the major Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 which took effect at the 1885 general election, a new county division of Bridgwater was created, which lasted with modifications until 2010. The constituency expanded considerably beyond Bridgwater town itself from 1885.
Bridgwater is a market town and civil parish in Somerset, England. It is the administrative centre of the Sedgemoordistrict, and an industrial centre. Bridgwater is located on the major communication routes through South West England. According to the 2011 census, the town had a population of 35,886, or 41,276 including the suburbs of Wembdon and Hamp
Bridgwater is situated on the edge of the Somerset Levels, in level and well-wooded country, having to the north the Mendip range and to the west the Quantock hills. The town lies along both sides of the River Parrett, 10 miles (16km) from its mouth, has been a major port and trading centre and maintains a large industrial base. It is linked to Taunton by the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. Bridgwater is located between two junctions of the M5 motorway and Bridgwater railway station is on the main railway line between Bristol and Taunton.
Historically, the town had a politically radical tendency, being involved in several events of note on the national stage, and was defended by its own castle. The battlefield of the Battle of Sedgemoor, where the Monmouth Rebellion was finally crushed in 1685, is nearby. Among several places of worship the chief is the Church of St Mary. A house in Blake Street, largely restored, was the birthplace of Admiral Blake in 1598, and is now the Blake Museum. The town has its own arts centre and plays host to the annual Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival.

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.

If you want to learn more about the town's history, head to the Blake Museum where you'll discover its past as a centre of commerce. And with the town centre being small enough to explore on foot, you can easily take in the fine architecture that was built during its commercial heyday - check out Cornhill, Castle Street, and King Square for some key construction landmarks.
For a taste of local culture, be sure to visit the Bridgwater Arts Centre - one of the first in the country - as well as the Somerset Brick and Tile Museum, and the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal and Docks. And if you're looking for some shopping and dining options, the town centre has a mix of well-known and independent shops and plenty of places to grab a bite to eat.

Bridgwater is a large historic market town and civil parish in Somerset, England. Its population currently stands at around 35,886 as of 2011.[1] 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.
A woman's body was found in a yard outside of an East Bridgewater home on Sunday, according to residents of the Massachusetts town.

If you're looking for a lively and historic town to visit, Bridgwater is the perfect destination. Located in the heart of Somerset, this market town has a rich legacy as a port and commercial centre, and is home to some of the region's most famous street carnivals.
The most famous of these is the Bridgwater Carnival, which takes place every November and is Europe's largest illuminated procession. Residents from near and far come together to witness this incredible spectacle, so be sure to check out the official Bridgwater Carnival website for this year's date and accommodation information.
If you want to learn more about the town's history, head to the Blake Museum where you'll discover its past as a centre of commerce. And with the town centre being small enough to explore on foot, you can easily take in the fine architecture that was built during its commercial heyday - check out Cornhill, Castle Street, and King Square for some key construction landmarks.
For a taste of local culture, be sure to visit the Bridgwater Arts Centre - one of the first in the country - as well as the Somerset Brick and Tile Museum, and the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal and Docks. And if you're looking for some shopping and dining options, the town centre has a mix of well-known and independent shops and plenty of places to grab a bite to eat.

The seat is based on the market town of Bridgwater in Somerset and currently incorporates significant portions of the surrounding north Somerset coast.
From Parliament's enactment of the major Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 which took effect at the 1885 general election, a new county division of Bridgwater was created, which lasted with modifications until 2010. The constituency expanded considerably beyond Bridgwater town itself from 1885.
