Store location
Bridgwater is a pretty, historic town with a significantly younger population compared to other towns in Somerset. This is due to the plentiful work opportunities in the area and has recently been ranked as the most affordable place to live in Somerset. Situated on the banks of the river Parrett, Bridgwater was once a busy industrial port. Now up an up and coming town with a cinema and leisure complex, plenty of outdoor spaces and home to the largest illuminated carnival in Europe.
There are excellent transport links; the train station is only a 15 minute walk from the store where you can catch a train to take you to Taunton in around 10 minutes or to Bristol in less than 50 minutes. The M5 runs adjacent to the town which directly links Bridgwater with Exeter to the south (around 41 miles) and Bristol to the north, just over 30 mile’s driving distance.
