Discover the Hinkley Point Area
Hinkley Point is a site on the Somerset coast of the Bristol Channel, close to the village of Stogursey and between the Quantock Hills and the sea. It is one of the largest construction sites in Europe, so people travel to the area for work for the length of the build. The site itself has few accommodation options, so most places are found in the surrounding towns, most commonly Bridgwater, roughly seven miles away via the A39, with Taunton also within reach. The M5 gives direct access to the wider area. Cannington, Nether Stowey and Burnham-on-Sea are among the nearby places with their own shops and services. The area offers a good range of shops, restaurants and everyday services close to where people are working. Whichever part of the area you need, WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Hinkley Point with one point of contact.
