Clutton is a rural village and civil parish situated in the Chew Valley, within the Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) area.

Located around 10 miles from both Bath and Bristol, the village has a long history rooted in agriculture and mining, particularly coal mining during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Remnants of this industrial past can still be found in the surrounding landscape.

Today, Clutton is a quiet residential village with a strong sense of community. It is home to a primary school, village hall, church, and a range of local groups and activities that bring residents together.

The surrounding countryside provides opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation, and the village benefits from its proximity to both urban centres and the Mendip Hills National Landscape.

The parish council plays an active role in local planning, environmental matters, and community development. Recent projects have focused on maintaining green spaces, supporting youth services, and engaging residents in discussions about future development and infrastructure needs.

Taylor's Farm is an agricultural property located in Clutton, Somerset. It forms part of the Clutton Estate, which includes several farms such as Maypole, North End, Lower North End, Clutton Hill, Church, Brewery, Greyfield, and Moore's or Hillside Farms.
