The Yeovil Scarplands are a natural region in southern England in the counties of Somerset and Dorset.

It covers 78,579 hectares (303.40 sq mi) and runs from Chard in the southwest to Chesterblade and Upton Noble in the northeast.

The town of Yeovil lies roughly in the centre of the area.

[1][2] With a predominantly rural landscape, Yeovil and other urban areas occupying less than 5% of the area, about 85% is farmed and the remainder predominantly pastoral.

The area includes Neolithic hill forts, remains of Roman villas and many listed buildings.
