South Barrow is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set in rolling pasture and arable farmland in south Somerset. It sits close to its neighbour North Barrow and is within easy reach of market towns such as Somerton and Castle Cary, making it quietly rural yet not isolated.
The community is traditionally agricultural, with stone cottages, farm buildings and a historic parish church at its heart, and a handful of listed buildings reflecting its long history. Local life centres on village events and country pursuits – walkers, horse riders and those enjoying the hedgerow-rich lanes are a common sight – while the parish retains a small, close-knit character rather than any large commercial presence.
