Welcome to East Harptree

East Harptree is a small village located in the Mendip Hills of Somerset, England. The village is situated on the edge of the Chew Valley, which is known for its stunning scenery and wildlife. East Harptree is a popular destination for walkers and hikers, as there are many footpaths and trails that lead through the surrounding countryside. The village itself is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 14th-century Church of St. Lawrence and the 17th-century Harptree Court.

One of the most notable features of East Harptree is its location within the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The hills are known for their limestone geology, which has created a unique landscape of caves, gorges, and underground rivers. The area is also home to a variety of rare plants and animals, including the Cheddar pink and the greater horseshoe bat. Visitors to East Harptree can explore the hills on foot or by bike, and there are several local companies that offer guided tours and activities.

Despite its small size, East Harptree has a strong sense of community and a rich cultural heritage. The village hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a popular annual fete and a Christmas market. There are also several local clubs and societies, including a gardening club, a history society, and a women's institute. The village pub, The Waldegrave Arms, is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike, and serves a range of locally sourced food and drink.
