Nestled on a low limestone ridge at the southern edge of the Somerset Levels, Wedmore is a large village and civil parish in Somerset. Its compact historic centre of stone and timber-framed houses clusters around the handsome 15th-century church of St Mary, reflecting medieval market-town origins and the old wool trade, and the ridge gives pleasant views across the Levels that attract walkers and birdwatchers.
Today Wedmore combines farming on the surrounding lowlands with a lively local economy of independent shops, galleries and artisan food producers, alongside equestrian activity and a busy community calendar of fairs and clubs, making it a sought-after spot for visitors and residents wanting rural character within easy reach of nearby towns and the coast.
