Pitminster is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England, lying a few miles south‑west of Taunton. It occupies gently rolling farmland with open views across the surrounding vale and a compact historic core marked by a medieval parish church and a number of listed houses, reflecting a settlement with roots stretching back into the Middle Ages.
Today the area retains a strongly rural character, with farming alongside a steady number of commuters who work in Taunton and beyond; village life revolves around community facilities, a primary school and local clubs. The parish is popular with walkers and riders for its network of footpaths and bridleways, and its combination of historic buildings, agricultural activity and village events gives it a quietly active, close‑knit feel.
