About

Pawlett, Puriton and Woolavington form a cluster of settlements on the Somerset Levels, characterised by low-lying, flat farmland crisscrossed by drainage ditches known as rhynes. The landscape is dominated by agriculture, with fields extending towards the tidal mudflats of the River Parrett to the north. The villages themselves are compact, with a mix of older stone and newer housing, serving primarily as residential bases within this working agricultural environment.

The area is defined by its relationship to the River Parrett and the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve. The flat terrain makes the villages visible from a distance, with the distinctive tower of St John the Baptist Church in Pawlett a notable landmark. A specific local feature is the presence of the former Puriton Hill quarry, now a landfill site, whose artificial slopes create a rare area of elevated ground on the otherwise level expanse.
