Lympsham is a compact village and civil parish in Somerset, England, sitting on the northern edge of the peat and clay lowlands that make up the Somerset Levels. The landscape is characteristically flat with a network of rhynes and drainage ditches, and the settlement is within easy driving distance of the market town of Bridgwater and the seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, with arable and dairy farms on the reclaimed marshes, while many residents commute to nearby towns. The village has a long history reflected in its parish church and scattered older cottages, and community life centres on a village hall and a pub, with traditional events and strong local ties typical of small Somerset villages. Historical interest tends to focus on land drainage, farming heritage and the continuity of rural village life on the Levels.
