Curry Rivel is a large village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set on the southern edge of the Polden Hills with open views over the low-lying Somerset Levels and nearby waterways such as the River Parrett. Its position gives a mix of gently rising, well-drained land and wetland landscape, so farming - especially dairy, arable and traditional orchards - remains a visible part of the local scene while larger towns are within easy reach.
The village has a long history visible in its stone houses and a medieval parish church with a distinctive tower, and community life centres on a village hall, primary school and local pubs that host regular events. Economically it combines agriculture with a fair number of commuters working in nearby centres such as Taunton or the market town of Langport, and there’s a quiet, resilient feel to local social life marked by active clubs, fairs and conservation interest in the Levels’ wildlife and heritage.
