At the mouth of the River Parrett, upon Bridgwater Bay is Burnham on Sea. This pier is all that remains of the Somerset and Dorset railway that connected Cardiff (via steamer) to the Southcoast. The trains used to run from Burnham-on-sea and then to Wells, Glastonbury, Bath (for connections to the Midlands) as well as Wareham and Swanage in Dorset.

Great spot by the sea to eat an ice cream, fish and chips or just to get some fresh air
