Monksilver is a small, rural village and civil parish in Somerset, England, sitting close to the rolling farmland and heath that meets the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement is compact, with traditional stone cottages and lanes giving way to open countryside popular with walkers and wildlife watchers.
Its name hints at medieval, probably monastic, origins and the village retains several historic buildings and a strong sense of community. The local economy is largely agricultural with a handful of small local businesses and commuters, while village life centres on the parish and occasional community events that reflect the quieter, close‑knit social character of the place.
