Tellisford is a small rural village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set in the valley of the River Frome a few miles from the market town of Frome. The settlement is made up of stone cottages, farmsteads and historic mill buildings, lying close to the fringes of the Mendip countryside and popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet country base.
The parish retains a strong agricultural character but has a few distinctive historic and economic touches: the old mill complex at Tellisford Mill and nearby bridge reflect the village’s industrial past, and the mill has been used in recent years for small-scale hydropower. A small, community-minded population, several listed buildings and occasional local events contribute to a sense of continuity between rural life and the area’s long history.
