Welcome to Darshill

Darshill Somerset is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated on the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills, which provide a stunning backdrop to the village. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops stretching out as far as the eye can see. The village itself is small, with a population of just over 200 people, but it has a strong sense of community and a rich history.

One of the most notable features of Darshill Somerset is its church, St. Lawrence's Church. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. It is a beautiful example of Norman architecture, with a striking tower and intricate carvings on the doorways and windows. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Another important aspect of Darshill Somerset is its agricultural heritage. The village has a long history of farming, with many of the residents still working in agriculture today. The fields surrounding the village are used for grazing sheep and cattle, as well as growing crops such as wheat and barley. The village also has a number of small businesses, including a farm shop and a pub, which serve as important gathering places for the community.
