Compton Martin is a compact limestone village in the rural part of Bath and North East Somerset, England, sitting on the western edge of the Mendip Hills above the valley that feeds Chew Valley Lake. The surrounding landscape of rolling pasture, hedgerows and caves makes it popular with walkers and cavers, and the village’s stone cottages and lanes give a strong sense of traditional Mendip character.
Historically the area shows traces of small‑scale mining and has a notable medieval parish church, St Michael’s Church, at its heart. The local economy mixes agriculture, a village pub and community activities with residents who commute to nearby Bath and Bristol, while village events and conservation interests help keep a lively social life despite its small size.
