Ilton is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England, lying just north of Ilminster in the district of South Somerset. Set in rolling farmland on the fringe of the low-lying Somerset Levels and with straightforward road links to Taunton and Yeovil, it’s a rural community that offers easy access to market towns while retaining a quiet, countryside atmosphere popular with walkers and day-trippers.
The village keeps a compact, traditional feel with stone cottages and a parish church dating back several centuries, reflecting the area’s agricultural and historic wool- and cider-making connections. Local life centres on community activities, a village hall and occasional events, and the surrounding lanes and hedgerow landscape give Ilton a distinctly Somerset character that attracts both long‑standing residents and newcomers seeking rural living within reach of larger centres.
