Bridgwater is a historic market town in Somerset, South West England, situated on the edge of the Somerset Levels at the confluence of the River Parrett. The town benefits from excellent connectivity via the M5 motorway (between junctions 23 and 24), the Bristol–Exeter main railway line, and the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. It has seen growth linked to nearby major projects such as Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. The town population equates approximately 41,276 making it one of the larger towns in Somerset.
