North Cheriton is a small, rural parish in Somerset, England, set among rolling farmland and hedgerowed lanes not far from the Somerset–Dorset border. It lies within easy reach of the A303 and the market town of Wincanton, so while very quiet and agricultural in character it is reasonably accessible to larger centres.
The settlement keeps a distinctly traditional feel, with stone cottages, scattered farmsteads and a historic church forming the social hub alongside a village hall; farming remains important economically, supplemented by a small amount of commuting and rural tourism such as holiday cottages and walking visitors. Community life tends to be close‑knit and centred on local events and parish activities, giving North Cheriton the low‑key charm typical of South Somerset villages.
