Farrington Gurney is a small village and civil parish in Bath and North East Somerset, set on the northern slopes of the Mendip Hills with wide views over the Avon valley towards Bristol and Bath. It sits close to the larger communities of Midsomer Norton and Paulton, and today combines a quiet rural feel with many residents who commute into the nearby cities.
The village has a long history - its name reflects medieval connections with the Gournay family - and it grew in the era of the Somerset coalfield, leaving traces in local buildings and landscape. A historic parish church of St John the Baptist and a traditional village pub and hall anchor village life, while small local businesses and community events keep a strong social character despite modern commuter influences.
