caption_attribution_description: Somerset Island, Bermuda, from the air, looking to the South, over Mangrove Bay. The Great Sound is visible at left centre. At far left is Boaz Island. Moving right, Watford Island and Watford Bridge are visible, joining to Ferry Point, at the North East tip of Somerset Island. Somerset Village is visible at the south of Mangrove Bay. King's Point is also visible, at the west side of the bay (the right side of the photograph). Ely's Harbour, Wreck Hill, and Wreck Point are visible at the right side of the photograph, beyond Somerset Island, with the Main Island of Bermuda continuing Eastwards.
context_page_description: Somerset Village is a small, unincorporated village in the northwest area of Bermuda, located in Sandys Parish. It lies in the northern half of Somerset Island.
  Like Flatts Village and Tucker's Town, the settlement has existed for centuries, though a lack of formal borders and municipal government means its foundation is undated, and when, precisely, the area came to be commonly thought of as a village is not clear.
  The village centres on the southern shore of Mangrove Bay, and was once a useful, if minor port. Today, the area includes a bank, a police station, post office, ferry station, library, a number of shops, small hotels, pubs and restaurants, and a boat club. There is also a bus depot as the village is the terminus of a number of bus routes. There is a small beach at the west of the village, and another at nearby Long Bay is within walking distance.
  The village is conveniently near to the defunct Royal Naval Dockyard on Ireland Island, and is connected to the City of Hamilton, as well as the Dockyard, by regular ferries. The village is the site, each summer, of the Non-Mariners' Race, a humorous non-race by deliberately unseaworthy floats.

  The village centres on the southern shore of Mangrove Bay, and was once a useful, if minor port. Today, the area includes a bank, a police station, post office, ferry station (on the Great Sound, beside Watford Bridge), library, a number of shops, small hotels, pubs and restaurants, and a boat club. There is also a bus depot as the village is the terminus of a number of bus routes. There is a small beach at the west of the village, and another at nearby (Somerset) Long Bay (there are two other Long Bays in Bermuda) is within walking distance.
  The village is conveniently near to the defunct Royal Naval Dockyard on Ireland Island (part of a former naval base that began on the opposite end of Watford Bridge), and is connected to the City of Hamilton, as well as the Dockyard, by regular ferries. The village is the site, each summer, of the Non-Mariners' Race, a humorous non-race by deliberately unseaworthy floats.
