East Harptree is a small village and civil parish on the northern edge of the Mendip Hills in Bath and North East Somerset, England, within easy reach of Bath and Bristol. Stone cottages and a traditional village green sit against a limestone landscape that has long supported farming and small-scale quarrying, and which now draws walkers and nature lovers into the hills and across the nearby Chew Valley.
The community remains distinctly rural and active, centred on a village hall, local events and a village pub, while its history is visible in an ancient parish church and country houses such as Harptree Court. Today the local economy combines agriculture and rural businesses with commuters to nearby urban centres, giving the parish a mix of historic character and contemporary village life.
