About the Levels and Moors area
The Levels and Moors LCN sits in the centre of Somerset, bordering seven other LCNs .
Primarily a rural area, its parishes include Burrowbridge (famed for its Burrow Mump), Martock in the south, and North Curry to the southwest.
The LCN also includes the market towns of Somerton and Langport with their well-established grassroot community groups, local organisations and networks.
The area is characterised by the inland peat-based Moors and unique Somerset Levels – the Levels being the only place in the United Kingdom where basket willow is grown commercially.
Tributaries of the rivers Tone, Parrett, Axe and Brue run across this LCN area.
