Pitney is a compact village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set on the edge of the low-lying Somerset Levels close to the River Parrett and a short drive from Langport. The surrounding landscape is characterised by drained pasture, ditches and wetlands, so it feels distinctly rural and is popular with birdlife and walkers enjoying the quiet Levels scenery.
Historically the village has a medieval church and a landscape shaped by agriculture, and today its economy still leans heavily on farms and small local businesses, with many residents also commuting to nearby towns. Social life centres on a village hall, the local pub and occasional fetes and community events, giving Pitney the feel of a close-knit countryside community with deep local roots.
