Exploring the History of Burnham-on Sea
The age-old story of Burnham-on-sea is that of reclaiming its lands from the surrounding waters. The Romans were the first to make such an attempt. However, their drainage system fell into disrepair after their departure from Britain, whereby the region reverted to tidal salt flats throughout the Anglo-Saxon period. In 1607, the Bristol Channel floods saw the local sea wall devastated.
Further defensive additions appeared following the Second World War centuries later, including the remains of a Mulberry harbour used for D-Day. Today, the town is well-protected from the sea, enabling tourists to wander freely around its coastal sights and take in the fresh air. You, too, can explore either before or after an Afternoon Tea near Burnham on Sea to satisfy your appetite.
