Edgarley is a small, quiet hamlet in rural Somerset, England, set within the low-lying, often-waterlogged landscape of the Somerset Levels. The area is dominated by farmland, drainage ditches and small lanes, giving it a distinctly agricultural character with a handful of traditional farmhouses and outbuildings rather than any urban centre.
Historically the Levels have been shaped by medieval drainage and peat cutting, and that legacy is still visible around Edgarley; locally the economy is largely agricultural, with some residents commuting to nearby towns such as Glastonbury and Street. The hamlet benefits from proximity to regional attractions like Glastonbury Tor and cultural events in the wider area (the famous Glastonbury Festival takes place at Pilton), which bring occasional tourism and a broader cultural life to this otherwise tranquil corner of Somerset.
