The tiny settlements of Horton and Broadway sit in rural Somerset in England, tucked into the West Country’s rolling farmland and patchwork of hedgerows. Both feel quintessentially Somerset: narrow lanes, stone and brick cottages, small farms and orchards, and easy access to footpaths and quiet country walks that attract walkers and visitors looking for a tranquil base away from bigger towns.
Historically they grew up as agricultural hamlets with medieval roots and retain features like old parish churches, traditional pubs and village halls that help sustain a close-knit community life. The local economy still leans on farming, small-scale tourism and people commuting to nearby market towns, and the villages are valued for their rural character, conservation interest and the seasonal rhythms of country events and harvests.
