Barrington is a small, quiet village and civil parish in South Somerset, in the county of Somerset, lying a few miles from the market town of Ilminster and close to the rolling countryside of the Blackdown Hills. The setting is typically rural West Country, with patchwork farmland, lanes and hedgerows rather than anything urban, which gives it a peaceful, bucolic feel.
Its best-known feature is the nearby Tudor manor Barrington Court, a well-preserved historic house and estate that draws visitors and contributes to the local economy alongside farming and small-scale rural enterprises. The village retains a close-knit community character, with historic buildings and landscapes that reflect Somerset’s long agricultural and country-house heritage.
