Clutton is a safe place, comfortably safer than the wider district around it. Around 215 crimes were recorded across the area in the past year. That works out at roughly 49 for every thousand residents, close to 44 percent below the Bath and North East Somerset average. Nothing in the numbers points to a village with a crime problem. This is rural Somerset behaving exactly as rural Somerset is supposed to.
The published figures put Clutton firmly in the quiet category. A rate of about 49 crimes per thousand people a year sits well under the roughly 88 recorded across Bath and North East Somerset as a whole, a gap of close to 44 percent. The twelve months to the spring of 2026 logged somewhere in the region of 215 crimes across the area, which for the number of people living here is a low tally rather than a worrying one. These are the recorded totals as published, counted over a wider statistical patch than the village on its own, so they describe the general temperature of the neighbourhood rather than the state of any single lane. What they do not show is the kind of concentrated trouble that turns certain postcodes into a gamble. In a small village where most people know most faces, the sort of crime that thrives on anonymity has very little to work with. The picture is even, low, and dull in exactly the way buyers actually want.
So is Clutton a safe area? About as safe as it gets on this stretch of Somerset. The crime rate is low, the pattern is unremarkable, and safety is the single strongest thing this village has going for it. If personal security sits near the top of your list, Clutton delivers it without asking you to think twice.
