Paulton is a village in Bath and North East Somerset, England, set just south of the Mendip Hills and within easy commuting distance of Bath and Bristol. Historically it grew as part of the Somerset coalfield, with 19th- and early 20th-century collieries shaping its streets and community, and you can still see traces of that industrial past in local buildings and landscape features.
Today Paulton has a strong village feel with shops, a primary school, pubs and active sports clubs such as Paulton Rovers; its economy mixes local services and commuters who travel to nearby cities, while the surrounding countryside makes it a handy base for walking and exploring the Mendips. Administratively it forms part of Bath and North East Somerset and retains a lively community spirit rooted in its mining heritage and rural setting.
