Weare is a small village and civil parish in the district of Sedgemoor in Somerset, England. It sits on the southern edge of the Somerset Levels beneath the Mendip Hills, so the character of the area mixes low-lying wetlands shaped by centuries of drainage with nearby limestone ridges and rural lanes.
Historically an agricultural community with medieval roots and a parish church of historic interest, Weare still leans on farming while many locals commute to larger centres; it also quietly attracts walkers and birdwatchers. Village life revolves around the parish council and community facilities, offering a peaceful rural base not far from towns such as Weston-super-Mare.
