Welcome to Bawdrip in Somerset
Bawdrip OnLine aims to provide a useful information source for residents and visitors and give a feel of the village life.
Bawdrip is a village and civil parish in the Sedgemoor district of Somerset, England. It is on the south side of the Polden Hills about 4 miles (6.4 km) north-east of Bridgwater. The population of Bawdrip is around 490 and is located to the east of Bridgwater.
The A39, which follows the Polden Hills to Glastonbury forms the North and West boundaries of the village. To the south there are views across the levels towards the neighbouring village of Chedzoy with which Bawdrip shares its school.
The Bawdrip History information has now been moved to a separate and expanded website.
This will encompass the Heritage Project details and information for the coming year.
