Langport is a small historic market town in Somerset, England, sitting on the banks of the River Parrett at the edge of the Somerset Levels. Its origins are medieval and the town grew as a modest inland port serving the surrounding agricultural plain, so you still find narrow streets, old stone buildings and a market-town feel rather than modern suburbia.

Today the local economy mixes farming and cider-making traditions with light industry, independent shops and commuters who travel to larger centres. The low-lying landscape makes flood management an ongoing local concern, while the nearby wetlands attract wildlife and informal tourism; community life centres on the parish, local school (notably Huish Episcopi Academy) and occasional town events that underline Langport’s rural, civic character.
