Elworthy is a tiny, rural parish in Somerset, set among rolling farmland and hedged lanes on the county’s western fringe. Its quiet lanes and footpaths give easy access to the coastal and upland landscapes of west Somerset, and the area is popular with walkers and people looking for a tranquil countryside base.
The settlement retains a historic parish church and evidence of ancient earthworks and barrows in the surrounding fields, pointing to a long rural history. The local economy is still largely agricultural, supplemented by a few small businesses and holiday lets, and the community remains small and village-centred with a strong sense of local identity.
