About

Curry Rivel is a large village on a low ridge overlooking the Somerset Levels. The church of St Andrew has a notable medieval spire visible for miles. The area is defined by its position at the edge of the drained marshland, with lanes leading down to the flat, agricultural landscape. Local farming historically focused on willow cultivation and peat digging, industries tied directly to the unique wetland environment.

Fivehead is a smaller village to the east, situated on slightly higher ground above the River Isle. The nearby Fivehead Arable Fields is a specific Site of Special Scientific Interest for its unimproved grassland and rare plants. This conservation area reflects the traditional, less-intensive farming practices still found here. The quiet lanes connect scattered farms and hamlets across this distinctly rural part of the county.
