Explore Burnham-on-Sea
Known for
The lighthouse on legs (the unique wooden lighthouse standing on stilts on the beach), the Somerset Levels gateway, the low lighthouse, and a Somerset seaside resort with the second lowest lighthouse in England
A little history
Burnham-on-Sea's wooden lighthouse — standing on nine wooden stilts on the beach — is one of England's most unusual structures, built in 1832. The town sits at the gateway to the Somerset Levels. The low lighthouse on the beach has guided ships across Bridgwater Bay for centuries.
The lighthouse on legs is genuinely extraordinary and unique — walk out to it at low tide. The Somerset Levels are minutes away for wildlife and walking. Berrow Dunes for a quieter beach. The market on Saturdays.
