Hinkley Point is a headland on the Bristol Channel coast of Somerset, England, 5 miles (8 kilometres) north of Bridgwater and 5 mi (8 km) west of Burnham-on-Sea, close to the mouth of the River Parrett. Excavations in 2014 and 2015, carried out by Cotswold Archaeology and funded by Électricité de France (EDF) in preparation for the construction of Hinkley Point C nuclear power station, discovered a farming settlement at the site dating from the Iron Age and then a post Roman cemetery.

  • Hinkley Point ist eine Landzunge an der Bristolkanal-Küste in Somerset (England), 5 mi (8 km) nördlich von Bridgwater und 5 mi (8 km) westlich von Burnham-on-Sea, nahe bei der Mündung des Flusses Parrett. Die exponierte Lage ließ Hinkley Point ideal für den Bau von Windkraftwerken erscheinen. Der Vorschlag, zwölf Windräder in der Nähe der Atomkraftwerke zu errichten, wurde im Oktober 2005 jedoch abgelehnt. Die Begründung des West Somerset District Council waren Sicherheitsbedenken, dass ein Rotorblatt sich lösen und „etwas oder jemanden“ treffen könnte. (de)

  • Hinkley Point is a headland on the Bristol Channel coast of Somerset, England, 5 miles (8 kilometres) north of Bridgwater and 5 mi (8 km) west of Burnham-on-Sea, close to the mouth of the River Parrett. Excavations in 2014 and 2015, carried out by Cotswold Archaeology and funded by Électricité de France (EDF) in preparation for the construction of Hinkley Point C nuclear power station, discovered a farming settlement at the site dating from the Iron Age and then a post Roman cemetery. Hinkley Point adjoins the Bridgwater Bay (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and nature reserve, and is a popular location for birdwatching and fossil hunting. A visitor centre in the nearby town Bridgwater gives access to information, as well as running tours of the plant. There is also a nature trail which features plants, birds and butterflies. The exposed location of Hinkley Point meant that it was considered ideal for wind generation. However, a proposal to build 12 wind turbines close to the site of the nuclear power stations was turned down in October 2005. The reason given by West Somerset District Council for the rejection was safety fears over what would happen were a turbine blade to detach and hit "something or somebody". (en)
