East Harptree is a small stone-built village in Bath and North East Somerset, England, tucked onto the northern slopes of the Mendip Hills. The village sits beside the wooded gorge of Harptree Combe and overlooks the agricultural lowlands of the Chew Valley, with a compact historic core of cottages and a parish church that hints at several centuries of local life; the twin settlement of West Harptree lies a short distance away.
Today East Harptree is largely rural in economy, with farms, small businesses and many residents commuting to Bath or Bristol, but it retains an active community feel - village hall events, a pub and walking routes are popular with locals and visitors alike, and nearby attractions such as Chew Valley Lake and the Mendips make it a pleasant base for outdoor activity.
