The village houses the Duke of Beaufort's residence, Badminton House, which has been the principal seat of the Somerset family since the late 17th century. Badminton House also gives its name to the sport of badminton.
Badminton is famous for its horse trials, which take place in early May each year in the grounds of Badminton House.
