Farmborough is a compact village and civil parish in Bath and North East Somerset, England, set on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills a few miles south‑west of Bath and within easy commuting distance of Bristol. It sits amid rolling Somerset farmland and limestone countryside, with pleasant views over surrounding valleys and good access to local walking and cycling routes.
Historically a farming settlement, Farmborough retains traditional stone cottages and a parish church alongside a primary school, village hall and sports clubs that help keep a lively community calendar of fêtes and events. Today it is largely residential, with many people commuting to nearby towns, while local life still revolves around small businesses, agriculture and active community organisations that preserve its rural character.
