Wrington is a village and civil parish in North Somerset, England, set on the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills and within easy reach of Bristol. The compact centre clusters around a grassy village green lined with honey-coloured stone houses, a medieval parish church and a couple of long-established pubs, giving it a distinctly picturesque, rural character.
Historically a market and farming community, Wrington still supports agriculture and small local businesses while also functioning as a commuter base for nearby Bristol. The village has active community life - a primary school, annual fêtes and clubs - and its historic buildings and lanes reflect a long local story that blends rural traditions with modern village living.
