Pawlett is a small village on the southern edge of the Somerset Levels in Somerset, England, sitting close to the low-lying marshes and the tidal channel of the River Parrett. The surrounding landscape is defined by reclaimed peat and salt marsh, sea walls and drainage channels, and lies within sight of the rich birdlife and mudflats of Bridgwater Bay, so flooding history and flood defence work have long shaped the area.
Locally it feels like a classic agricultural parish with a compact community, older buildings and a parish church, and many residents combine farming, local services and commuting into nearby Bridgwater. In recent years the village has also felt the wider economic effects of regional projects such as Hinkley Point C, while its history is woven into the broader story of the Levels - drainage, land reclamation and occasional conflict - that characterises this corner of Somerset.
