Cannington is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England, a few miles south of Bridgwater on the edge of the Somerset Levels and beneath the Quantock Hills. Its riverside position by the River Parrett and proximity to wetlands make it popular for birdwatching and walking, while remaining within easy reach of larger towns.
The village is noted for the historic manor of Cannington Court with its walled gardens and a compact medieval church, and for hosting a land-based campus of Bridgwater & Taunton College, reflecting the area's agricultural economy. It retains a lively local community, a handful of pubs and clubs, and a mix of historic buildings and working farms that give it a distinctly rural Somerset character.
