The parish of Mark sits on the southern edge of the Somerset Levels in Somerset, a small rural community surrounded by low-lying farmland, drainage rhynes and open skies that attract walkers and birdwatchers. The landscape is quietly distinctive, giving the parish a strong sense of place within the Levels' mosaic of fields and waterways.
Historically the local economy has centred on agriculture and land drainage, and that rural character remains alongside a number of smallholdings and farms; many residents now commute to nearby towns such as Bridgwater and Highbridge. Social life tends to revolve around the village church, hall and occasional fêtes or community events, and a number of older buildings hint at the parish’s long local history.
