Long Load is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, lying within the largely rural South Somerset district in the south‑west of England. Set amid rolling farmland on the edge of the low‑lying Somerset Levels, it retains a compact historic core of vernacular stone and brick buildings and a quietly attractive riverside feel that proves popular with walkers and those seeking a rural base.
Locally the economy is dominated by agriculture and small rural enterprises, with many residents commuting to larger towns for work. Social life centres on village institutions such as the church and hall, occasional fetes and community activities, while the parish’s historic character and landscape setting make it of interest to anyone exploring the quieter, less altered parts of Somerset.
