Hardington Mandeville is a small, traditional village and civil parish in rural Somerset, England, lying a few miles west of Yeovil on the edge of the rolling limestone countryside and the southern fringe of the Somerset Levels. The name reflects the medieval de Mandeville family who held the manor, and the village retains a historic core centred on the parish church (with medieval fabric and later restoration) and a number of stone cottages; the nearby Hardington Moor is a noted biological SSSI, prized for its unimproved neutral grassland and summer orchids.
Economically and socially the parish is largely agricultural, with many residents commuting into nearby towns, but it remains a closely knit community with a village hall, church activities and local events that sustain rural life. As part of South Somerset the area combines conservation interests and local farming traditions, making it a quiet example of Somerset village life with accessible links to larger service centres.
