Axbridge – niewielkie miasto w Wielkiej Brytanii, w Anglii w hrabstwie Somerset (dystrykt Sedgemoor), u podnóża wzgórz Mendip, niedaleko Cheddar.
Historia
Miasto powstało w czasach panowania Rzymian, o czym świadczą wykopane naczynia kamienne. Brało udział w wojnach wikingów z Anglo-Saksonami - było elementem systemu obrony. W czasach nowożytnych znaczenie miasta osłabło, w XIX w. niewielki ośrodek wydobycia rud żelaza.
