Baltonsborough is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, sitting on the southern edge of the Somerset Levels between Glastonbury and the Mendip area. The surrounding landscape is notably low-lying and pastoral, with a patchwork of meadows, drainage rhynes and distant views towards the Mendip hills and Glastonbury Tor, which give the locality a strong sense of place.
Its compact historic core features an old parish church and traditional stone cottages, reflecting a settlement with medieval roots; agriculture and horticulture remain important locally, while many residents commute to nearby towns. Community life is lively for a village of its size, with local groups, a village hall and occasional events that keep a social fabric centred on preserving landscape and heritage.
