High Littleton

High Littleton is a compact village and civil parish in Bath and North East Somerset, set a few miles south‑west of Bath. Historically it grew as part of the Somerset Coalfield, and you can still see the legacy in rows of miners’ cottages and a strong local identity built around its industrial past; the village also has a historic parish church with medieval origins and a village hall and pub that act as community hubs.

Geographically it sits amid rolling Somerset countryside on the approaches to the Mendip Hills, while being within easy commuting distance of both Bath and Bristol. Today the local economy mixes small businesses, agriculture and commuter households, and the place has a quiet, community‑minded feel with occasional local events that celebrate its mining heritage and rural setting.
