Norton Fitzwarren is a village and civil parish on the edge of Taunton in Somerset, England. It combines a semi‑rural setting with good road and rail links to the county town, and sits close to local landmarks such as Norton Manor Camp, a military base, and Taunton Racecourse.
The village has a strong railway heritage and a history tied to the surrounding agricultural landscape, while today many residents commute into Taunton and beyond; local life is driven by village amenities, a village hall, pubs and community groups. The distinctive “Fitzwarren” element of the name reflects historic manorial connections, giving the place a quiet mix of historic roots and contemporary commuter‑village character set against typical Somerset countryside.
