Models unveiled for Burnham lighthouse trail

In total 32 lighthouses will be placed around Burnham

Following in the footsteps of Bristol's Gromit Unleashed a lighthouse trail will soon be unveiled around Burnham. The area is well known for the iconic lighthouse that stands in Burnham-on-Sea which was built in 1832.

Various community groups, local artists and schools are decorating lighthouses which will then be placed around the area to form a trail for visitors to follow. The trail will launch on May 3rd and at the end of the summer they will be auctioned off to raise money for the 'Petal Charity'.
