About Wembdon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wembdon is a vibrant rural village situated on the edge of the picturesque Quantock Hills, England\u2019s first designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Wembdon is one of the more exclusive areas near Bridgwater. It\u2019s a lovely village with some great local people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wembdon welcomes all visitors and new residents. We do hope that due to the many rural roads within the village all visitors and passers-by drive with care and consideration for our residents by keeping their speed low as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
