| Wedmore village is a conservation area, and with good reason. The centre is a rare surviving example of a 'Saxon square' - an ancient piece of open land completely enclosed on all four sides by houses facing outwards onto lanes. The buildings within the conservation area are almost all Georgian or earlier, and the village is known for its pleasing architectural integrity. At the heart of the village is the beautiful medieval church , set in its graveyard. |

In spite of attracting a good number of visitors each
year, Wedmore remains essentially a busy village of
working farms, tucked between the Somerset Levels and the
Mendip Hills. The surrounding farmland is almost all
traditional livestock pasture. Wedmore is, however, becoming increasingly
famous for its annual events -
The Turnip Prize and the
Real Ale
Festival. You can find out a lot more about Wedmore in our Community Website. |
