Welcome to Poleshill

Poleshill is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated on the eastern edge of the Mendip Hills, which is a range of limestone hills that run through the county. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops. Poleshill is a peaceful and quiet place, with a population of around 200 people.

The village has a long history, dating back to the Roman times. There are several Roman sites in the area, including a villa and a temple. Poleshill was also an important centre for the wool trade in the Middle Ages, and there are still many old buildings in the village that date back to this time. The village church, St. Peter's, is a Grade II listed building and is over 700 years old.

Today, Poleshill is a popular destination for walkers and hikers, who come to explore the beautiful countryside and the many footpaths that criss-cross the area. There are also several local pubs and restaurants, where visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink after a long day of walking. The village is a peaceful and idyllic place, where visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and enjoy the beauty of the English countryside.
