Map of the UK

The village and civil parish of Butleigh lies in Somerset, a short distance from Glastonbury on the edge of the Somerset Levels, with views towards the Mendip Hills. It’s a compact rural community set around traditional stone houses, lanes and farmland.

Historically the village centres on the medieval St Leonard's Church and the 19th-century country house Butleigh Court, and its economy has long been rooted in agriculture alongside small local businesses. A steady programme of village fêtes, a busy village hall and amateur groups keep social life lively, while the surrounding landscape and heritage attract walkers and those interested in rural Somerset history.
