Nempnett Thrubwell

The parish of Nempnett Thrubwell sits in the rural north of the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset in Somerset, a few miles south‑west of Bristol and close to the rolling limestone countryside of the Mendip Hills and the Chew Valley. It’s very sparsely populated, made up of scattered farms, small hamlets and quiet lanes, with hedged fields, woodland and small valleys rather than a single nucleated village.

Historically an agricultural parish, it retains a strong farming character though many residents commute to nearby towns; the little medieval parish church remains a local focal point. The area is prized for peaceful walking and wildlife, and its unusual double‑barrelled name and secluded feel give Nempnett Thrubwell a distinctive place in rural Somerset life.
