Lower Weare is a small hamlet in the civil parish of Weare in Somerset, England, located where the rolling limestone of the Mendip Hills meets the low-lying Somerset Levels. That position gives a mixture of upland lanes and wetland scenery popular with walkers and birdwatchers, and the hamlet sits within easy reach of market towns such as Bridgwater and Axbridge.
Traditionally agricultural, the area is characterised by dairy farms, pasture and stone cottages; many villagers now commute to nearby towns while local life remains rooted in parish activities and outdoor pursuits. The contrast between Mendip stone walls and the reed-fringed Levels lends Lower Weare a quietly historic, community-minded character that appeals to people seeking rural living and access to country walks and wildlife.
