Cross is a small hamlet in the county of Somerset in England, set amid the county’s rolling agricultural countryside. It typically consists of a handful of stone cottages and farm buildings, narrow lanes and hedgerows, and offers easy access to quiet walking country and rural views.
Historically the settlement grew around farming and often includes older farmhouses or locally listed buildings; today the local economy remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby market towns. Community life tends to be close‑knit, centred on village halls or the occasional pub and seasonal events, and the place’s appeal is its tranquillity, local heritage and proximity to wider Somerset attractions.
