Clatworthy is a village and civil parish in the West Somerset District of Somerset, England. It is situated from Wellington and four miles (6 km) from Wiveliscombe on the southern slopes of the Brendon Hills and close to the Exmoor National Park.
The Clatworthy Reservoir is run by Wessex Water and has a capacity of 5,364,000 cubic metres,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ceh.ac.uk/news/news_archive/documents/hs_200808.pdf )〕 supplying some 200,000 homes. It impounds the head waters of the River Tone and the surrounding area is used for walking and fishing.
==History==
The name of the village means the "''homestead where burdock grows''".
The parish of Clatworthy was part of the Williton and Freemanners Hundred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕
Just west of the village, at the edge of Exmoor National Park, is the Clatworthy Reservoir, which impounds the headwaters of River Tone and supplies water to some 200,000 homes and businesses, some as far away as Yeovil. An iron age enclosure known as Clatworthy Castle was sited on the wooded slopes above the reservoir and there are round barrows in the north of the parish.〔
