The Somerset Levels are a coastal plain and wetland area of Somerset, England, running south from the Mendips to the Blackdown Hills. The Somerset Levels have an area of about 160,000 acres (650 km2) and are bisected by the Polden Hills; the areas to the south are drained by the River Parrett, and the areas to the north by the rivers Axe and Brue. The Mendip Hills separate the Somerset Levels from the North Somerset Levels. The Somerset Levels consist of marine clay "levels" along the coast and inland peat-based "moors"; agriculturally, about 70 per cent is used as grassland and the rest is arable. Willow and teazel are grown commercially and peat is extracted.

  • Somerset Levels, rzadziej Somerset Level and Moors – płaski obszar pokryty mokradłami, położony pomiędzy wzgórzami Quantock Hills i Mendip. Obszar graniczy z ujściem rzeki Severn, które jest miejscem dużych pływów, co powoduje powodzie na tym obszarze. Równinę dzielą na połowę wzgórza Polden. Powierzchnia równiny wynosi około 650 km². Administracyjnie większa część równiny należy do dystryktu Sedgemoor ze stolicą w Bridgwater. Ponad 70% obszaru stanowią łąki a 30% ziemia orna. (pl)
