Langport is a small town as well as civil parish in Somerset, England, 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Somerton in the South Somerset district. The parish (which covers only part of the town) has a population of 1,081. Langport is contiguous with Huish Episcopi, a different parish that includes much of the town’s borders. Langport lies on the east bank of the River Parrett, listed below the point where that river is joined by the River Yeo (Ivel). There is a causeway throughout the moor and also a vital bridge over the river. Below Langport the Parrett is tidal. The rivers flow from the southern hills with Thorney Moor and Kings Moor, via a space in between the upland areas around Somerton and also Curry Rivel, onto the Somerset Levels whereby it flows past Bridgwater to the Bristol Channel. Throughout the winter months the low-lying areas around Langport are often flooded. The town drops within the Non-metropolitan area of South Somerset, which was based on 1 April 1974 under the City Government Act 1972, having previously become part of Langport Rural District. The area council is in charge of local planning as well as building control, neighborhood roads, council housing, ecological wellness, markets and also fairs, reject collection as well as recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, recreation services, parks, as well as tourism.
