桥头镇在怀集县的西南部，属肇庆市，下设1个社区和13个行政村，土地面积约213平方千米。[1][5]镇政府设在桥头圩，因圩坐落于一座石拱桥的东头而得名。[1]镇域多石灰岩山地，燕岩一带的溶洞与金丝燕栖居地，使这里以燕窝和岩洞风光闻名。[2][3]

历史沿革[edit]

桥头一带在1960年设立桥头公社，1983年改为桥头区，1986年建镇。[1]镇名取自驻地桥头圩：圩在一座石拱桥东头，镇名沿用圩名。[1]

辖下的村委会多在1998年前后由原来的管理区改称村民委员会，各村的合并与改名过程，见各村条目。[1]

地理环境[edit]

镇域位于怀集县西南部，面积约213平方千米，属石灰岩地区，四面为丘陵山地，耕地相对不多。[1][2]西面与封开县莲都镇相邻。[1]镇内有170多个大小岩洞和360多座石峰，呈典型的喀斯特地貌。[3]

人口民族[edit]

第七次全国人口普查以2020年11月1日为标准时点，当时桥头镇有人口约4.45万，排在怀集县各街道乡镇的第7位。[1]全镇共有1个社区、13个行政村。[5]

经济[edit]

当地特产有燕岩所产的怀集燕窝，以及用本地玉米喂养的粟米鸡、石山羊，另有冬菇、黄笋、黑木耳和金黄皮果、山楂、无核柿子等。[2]2021年9月，省农业农村厅评出第三批“一村一品、一镇一业”专业镇，桥头镇靠石山羊上榜。[1]各村的种养业各有侧重，如新宁村的板栗、凤真村的莲藕、丰大村的粟米鸡、六竹村的沙糖桔、保丰村的青柠檬等。[1]

名胜古迹[edit]

燕岩风景区在镇内，距怀集县城27公里，1999年定为省级风景名胜区。[3]燕岩洞全长660米，洞高最大66米、洞宽最大95米，游览路线约1800米；岩洞因栖有大批金丝燕而得名，当地徒手攀岩采燕窝的做法也为人所知。[3]每年农历六月初六为当地的“燕子节”。[3]景区所在的岩旺村称，燕岩在2006年获得“广东省最美的地方”“中国最佳溶洞奇观”两项称号。[6]百度百科另记，2025年桥头镇上了“美丽中国·深呼吸乡镇”的名单。[3]

一篇旅游介绍称，镇内有桃源村，据称建村于西晋，历史逾1700年，村民世代经一段400多米长的天然溶洞出入，1994年，嫁到外村的孔英以124岁高龄得到“中国长寿王后”的称号。[4]博雅地名网则记新兴村境内有长寿村与“世外桃源”景点。[1]

荣誉[edit]

省乡村振兴局在2022年1月把桥头镇列为2021年度乡村治理示范乡镇的创建单位；2023年10月得到肇庆市卫生镇称号；省里在2024年3月将其命名为2023年度卫生乡镇；2026年3月，列入第三批省级百千万工程典型村镇。[1]
