Map of the UK

Pawlett is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, a few miles west of Bridgwater on the low-lying Somerset Levels. Set close to the River Parrett and within a few miles of the Bristol Channel, the local landscape is dominated by reclaimed marsh, drainage channels and pasture that remains susceptible to seasonal flooding.

Historically the settlement was shaped by agriculture and long-running drainage works, and today it keeps a tight-knit village character while many residents commute to nearby towns or to projects such as Hinkley Point. The parish retains a village church and community groups, and the surrounding Levels provide important wildlife habitat and a strong sense of the area's layered human and natural history.
