Edington is a small, rural parish in the county of Somerset in England, set among hedged lanes, pastures and mixed farmland. The village has a compact historic core with traditional stone and brick cottages, a parish church of long standing and a scattering of farmsteads; its quiet lanes and landscape retain a distinctly rural character appreciated by walkers and birdwatchers.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural with a few small businesses and trades, while many residents commute to larger towns for work; social life revolves around a village hall, occasional parish events and longstanding community ties. The area’s history is visible in old field patterns and vernacular buildings, and conservation-minded planning helps preserve the parish’s historic and scenic qualities.
