Fivehead is a small, rural village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated a few miles east of Taunton on the edge of the Somerset Levels. Its setting of rolling farmland, hedgerows and pockets of woodland gives it a distinctly quiet, agricultural feel while keeping easy access to larger towns.
The village retains a historic core with a medieval parish church and a number of traditional cottages, reflecting centuries of local life centred on farming. Contemporary Fivehead is a close-knit community with a village hall and occasional local events, and the surrounding wetland and meadow habitats make it attractive for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
