Ditcheat is a small village and civil parish in the rolling countryside of Somerset, England, lying just a few miles from the market town of Castle Cary. It has medieval origins and a compact street plan of traditional stone cottages and farm buildings that give a distinctly rural West Country character.
Historically centred on agriculture, the parish retains several listed buildings including an attractive parish church and an old manor, while the local economy now mixes farming with commuters travelling to nearby towns. The village sustains an active community life and conservation interest, so its quiet, heritage-rich atmosphere is a big part of its appeal.
