Parish in Somerset, England

OS grid ref:ST 22 40
Dialling code: 01278 (Bridgwater)

Fiddington is a small rural village and civil parish in Somerset, set on the fringe of the low-lying Somerset Levels and not far from the River Parrett. The landscape is characterised by flat, fertile fields and drainage channels, giving it a distinct marshland feel and strong links to traditional wetland management and agriculture.

Historically the area has medieval roots and retains a scattering of old farmhouses and a parish church at its heart, while economically it remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby towns such as Bridgwater and beyond via the M5 corridor. Community life is typically quiet and close-knit, with local events and the village hall keeping rural ties strong.
