About Bridgwater and the 01278 Area Code
Bridgwater is a historic market town on the River Parrett in Somerset, long established as the commercial centre of the Somerset Levels. The town's maritime past is reflected in its docks and the fine Georgian architecture along the waterfront. Bridgwater is perhaps best known for its annual Guy Fawkes Carnival, the largest illuminated carnival in Europe, which draws tens of thousands of spectators every November.
The town is undergoing significant transformation thanks to its proximity to Hinkley Point C, the first new nuclear power station to be built in the UK in a generation. This multi-billion-pound project has brought thousands of workers and substantial investment to the area. Bridgwater also benefits from its position on the M5 motorway and mainline rail services to Bristol and Taunton.
A virtual 01278 Bridgwater number is particularly well suited to construction, engineering, accommodation, recruitment, and professional services firms looking to capitalise on the economic boom driven by the energy sector and wider regeneration across Sedgemoor.
