Williton is a large village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set a few miles inland from the Bristol Channel. It sits on the A39 at the edge of rolling farmland and is within easy reach of Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so it offers a mix of rural landscapes and access to coastal towns.
Locally it functions as a service hub with shops, pubs, a medical practice and active community groups, and it served as the administrative centre for the former district of West Somerset. The village has a station on the heritage West Somerset Railway, which brings visitors in season, and combines agricultural and small-scale service economies with a popular base for walkers and people seeking quieter country life within reach of larger centres such as Taunton.
