The parish of Burrington in North Somerset, England sits on the northern fringe of the Mendip Hills and is dominated by the dramatic limestone gorge of Burrington Combe. The combe contains notable caves such as Aveline's Hole, an important Mesolithic burial site, and attracts walkers, climbers and cavers drawn to its karst scenery and archaeological interest.
The wider parish is a small, largely agricultural community with traditional stone buildings and an understated rural character. Historic features include the nearby Iron Age earthworks at Burrington Camp, while today local life is shaped by farming, outdoor recreation and village-focused social activities rather than any large commercial centre.
