Excerpt from A Guide to Burnham: Containing: A Map of the District, 14 Pictures, and Descriptive Letterpress

The river Parret, Burnham faces almost due west, and is within easy reach of such interesting places as Athelney, Cheddar, Glastonbury, Wells and Holford Glen. 'c Dwellers in the Northern and Midland counties have already discovered that there is no need for them to take the long journey down to the South Coast in search of rest and recuperation, when they can obtain what they desire much closer at hand, and at far less expense. The result has been that year by year the number of visitors to Burnham and the other resorts on the same coast has steadily increased, and signs are not- wanting which point to the ultimate expansion of the town we are about to brieﬂy describe. On the south and south-west Burnham is bounded by the Quantock Hills, to the north will be seen the hills of Wales, behind the town is the rich and famous Cheddar Valley, while on the eastern side Brent Knoll affords protection from keen and undesirable winds.
