Highbridge breathes the salty air of the Somerset Levels. It lies 2.3 km south-east of Burnham-on-Sea (from Burnham-on-Sea: bearing 143°T, OS grid ST 319 473), and is situated north-east of Alstone village. The land around Highbridge, flat and stretching towards the Bristol Channel, carries the subtle scent of salt marsh and damp earth, a constant reminder of its proximity to the sea. Historically, this was a place of crossing, where waterways met and the journeys of traders and travellers converged, a quiet echo of its past importance as a port and a hub for canal traffic. The low-lying landscape, often softened by a pearly, diffused light, lends a certain introspective quality to the atmosphere of Highbridge.
