About

High Littleton ward is a rural area situated on the Mendip Hills plateau southwest of Bath. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, woodland, and scattered settlements. The ward encompasses the villages of High Littleton and Hallatrow, along with several smaller hamlets and isolated farms. Historically, its economy was linked to coal mining and stone quarrying, remnants of which can still be seen in the local topography and some older buildings.

A notable local landmark is the Church of St Mary Magdalene in High Littleton, with its distinctive tower. The community maintains a quiet, agricultural character, with narrow lanes connecting the various settlements.
