Westbury-sub-Mendip is a small village on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, tucked into distinctive limestone countryside. Its position on the Mendips gives panoramic views down to the Somerset Levels and often as far as Glastonbury Tor and the Bristol Channel on clear days, and it sits within easy reach of attractions like Cheddar Gorge and the market towns of Wells and Shepton Mallet.
Historically the character of the village has been shaped by farming and the Mendips’ quarrying and mining heritage, and that history shows in the limestone cottages and the village church. Today it’s a quiet, close‑knit community popular with walkers and outdoor enthusiasts exploring the hills, with a handful of local enterprises and a rhythm of traditional village life rather than any large-scale industry.
