Kingston St. Mary is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, a few miles south‑west of Taunton on the northern fringe of the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its hill‑fringed setting gives good views over the surrounding vale and makes it a popular spot for walkers and horse riders exploring the Quantocks' lanes and commons.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the village retains a mix of stone cottages, manor houses and a parish church that reflect that past, while today the local economy is a blend of farming, small businesses and residents who commute to nearby towns. Socially it has a lively village community centred on a pub, village hall and local events, and it attracts modest levels of tourism from people visiting the hills and countryside of Somerset.
