Northmoor Green

Northmoor Green is a village in south central Somerset, England, that is more commonly known as Moorland, and sometimes mistakenly called Fordgate even though it is a separate hamlet.

It is the only village in the United Kingdom with two official names on an OS Map (Northmoor Green or Moorland) Set in the heart of the Somerset levels it has the River Parrett running next to it.

Before the hall was built, a small amateur dramatic society, The Parrett Players, produced two one-act plays which were held in the local school.

The village gained nationwide recognition in February 2014 due to extensive flooding on the Somerset Levels which particularly affected Moorland,[2] when the Environment Agency constructed an earth bank to try to hold back the water.

[6] North Moor to the south of the village is a 676.3 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest.
