The civil parish of Stowey-Sutton in Bath and North East Somerset, England, sits on the western flank of the Mendip Hills overlooking the Chew Valley. It embraces the small settlements of Stowey and Bishop Sutton and is characterised by rolling limestone countryside, hedged farmland and traditional stone cottages.
With medieval roots and a local heritage shaped by Mendip quarrying and farming, the parish retains a strong village community with halls, clubs and plenty of outdoor activity - walking, cycling and birdwatching are popular on the nearby AONB slopes. The economy remains largely rural with some local businesses and commuters traveling to Bath and Bristol, while its quiet lanes and views make it attractive for visitors seeking countryside tranquillity.
