Wellow is a civil parish in Somerset, England, about five miles south of Bath. It falls within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It used to have a station on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway, which closed in 1966, and a tunnel on the Radstock arm of the Somerset Coal Canal.
There is a low water crossing (Irish Bridge) and late mediaeval Packhorse bridge over Wellow Brook.[1]
The parish church is dedicated to St. Julian and has origins before the 12th Century although the present building dates from 1372. It is a grade I listed building.[2]
Nearby is the Hinton Hill site of Site of Special Scientific Interest.
