Nunney is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set in rolling countryside a few miles east of Frome and close to the Mendip Hills. It sits beside the River Frome and is best known for the picturesque 14th‑century moated ruin of Nunney Castle, whose round towers and water-filled moat give the village a markedly medieval character.
Beyond its historic centre, Nunney has a cluster of stone cottages, a traditional village pub and an active community that still reflects an agricultural past while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Bath and Bristol. The packhorse bridge, quiet lanes and community events make it a popular spot for walkers and visitors seeking a quintessential Somerset village atmosphere.
