Lamyatt is a small rural village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set amid rolling farmland on the fringes of the Mendip Hills and within easy reach of the market town of Shepton Mallet. The landscape is typically Somerset - limestone, hedgerows and mixed pasture and arable fields - giving a quiet, pastoral character to the settlement.
Historically a farming community with roots stretching back through the medieval period, the village keeps a close‑knit social life centred on traditional village amenities and the parish framework; the local economy remains largely agricultural with some commuters to nearby towns. Visitors and residents value the stone cottages, rural lanes and ready access to walking country on the Mendips and across the Somerset countryside.
