Merriott is a small village and civil parish in rural Somerset, England, set among rolling farmland and hedgerows not far from the Dorset border. It sits within easy reach of market towns such as Crewkerne and Yeovil, and its landscape reflects the patchwork of pastures and orchards typical of south Somerset.
The village has a long history visible in its church and older cottages, and community life is centred on a village hall, primary school and local clubs rather than large industry. Agriculture remains important locally, but many residents commute to nearby towns, and Merriott retains a strong sense of village identity with occasional local events and a steady stream of visitors appreciating the quieter side of rural Somerset.
