Coleford is a small village in rural Somerset in southwest England, set where the low-lying Somerset Levels meet the limestone ridges of the Mendip Hills. The location gives a mix of wetland and rolling pasture, and the village is characterised by sturdy stone cottages and a traditional parish church.
Historically agricultural, Coleford still has a farming heart but also serves as a quiet commuter and leisure base for those visiting the wider county; local life revolves around a village hall, a pub or two and occasional fetes and community events. Its modest size and pleasant countryside setting make it popular with walkers and anyone after a peaceful slice of Somerset life.
