Pecking Mill is a small rural locality in Somerset, England, set among the county’s typical rolling farmland and hedgerows. The placename suggests a lost mill or historic field-name, and like much of the county it sits in a landscape with deep agricultural roots and layers of history stretching back through the medieval period and earlier.
Today Pecking Mill is tied into Somerset’s largely agricultural economy, with a mix of farms, small rural businesses and residents who commute to nearby towns for work. Socially it shares the close-knit village culture common across the West Country - local events, walking and country pursuits are important, and the area participates in broader Somerset traditions such as cider-making and conservation of the rural environment.
