Nunney is a village and civil parish in the English county of Somerset. It is located 3 miles (5 km) south-west of Frome and the parish includes the hamlet of Holwell.
The name of the village comes from Old English and means Nunna's island.
Today, the tourist attractions are the ruins of Nunney Castle, a historic church, and the seasonal events of the village, including the duck race on Easter Sunday's and the annual Nunney Fayre Day (late July), organised by the Nunney Community Association, which attracts thousands of visitors each year to the village to enjoy the musical performances at Nunney Castle and the many artisan stalls from local producers throughout the village.
On 30 September 2007, Nunney was the subject of a BBC Radio 4 report, asking whether "the prettiest village in England" is a place where we can learn "how to mend our broken society".
