About Fencing in Burnham-on-Sea
Burnham on Sea in Somerset grew from a small fishing village into a Victorian seaside resort, and its most distinctive landmark is a lighthouse standing on wooden legs directly on the beach, built in 1832 after an earlier tower proved too high to be useful in poor visibility. The town's long stretch of sand and one of the highest tidal ranges in the world, second only to Canada's Bay of Fundy, continue to shape both its coastline and its appeal to visitors.
