Camerton is a small, rural parish in Bath and North East Somerset, tucked into the Cam Valley along the Cam Brook, a tributary of the River Avon, and only a few miles from the city of Bath. The setting is typical West Country countryside: rolling fields, hedgerows and lanes with a compact village nucleus and scattered farms and hamlets.
The parish has a noticeable industrial past - 19th- and early 20th-century coal mining and a short-lived branch railway left earthworks and old workings that now sit alongside farmland and listed buildings. A medieval parish church and a quiet community life - village events, walking in the valley and interest in local heritage - help give the place its character, combining rural tranquillity with visible echoes of its social and economic history.
