Burnham-on-Sea is a perfect travelling base from which to see the gorgeous Somerset countryside and its notable attractions. Seven miles of unspoiled sandy beaches, sailing, fishing, donkey rides, gardens, bi-annual food and drink festival, live music, Guy Fawkes carnival, and a 36 hole championship golf course. Glastonbury, with its mythological associations to King Arthur, is central to the Avalon marshes, one of the UK’s largest lowland wetlands, a complex ecosystem alive with animals.
