 * Glastonbury and Street from the Wells constituency (to be abolished and succeeded by Wells and Mendip Hills)
 * A small part of the Yeovil constituency.


 * Castle Cary; Curry Rivel and Langport; Glastonbury; Martock; Somerton; Street; Wincanton and Bruton; and small parts of Brympton, Coker, Mendip South, and South Petherton and Islemoor.

Constituency profile
Electoral Calculus characterised the proposed seat as "Strong Right", with right-wing economic and social views, high home ownership levels and strong support for Brexit. In its coverage of the 2024 general election, the BBC had calculated that the changed boundaries made the new seat notionally Conservative; thus, when Sarah Dyke won the seat during the election, her victory was categorised as "Liberal Democrat gain from Conservative".
