Welcome to Donyatt
Donyatt is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of Somerset
Welcome to Donyatt, or Doniet as it was then known, is listed in the Domesday Book and has the distinction of being mentioned as a Park, the only one listed in the Somerset Domesday, but can trace its origins back even further. Although it is a very old settlement and has expanded a little over the centuries, Donyatt is still quite small. Currently the village is made up of a church, a public house/restaurant, village hall, a number of homes, a small number of farms, plus beautiful green fields and a stretch of the River Ile. Whilst Donyatt may look like a sleepy little backwater, it is in fact a vibrant and active community. The old Chard Branch Line ran through Donyatt before reaching Ilminster and there is a Halt which originally served the village. Now there is the Chard/Ilminster cycle route, which runs along the old railway line, Donyatt Halt is on the route and is being preserved and maintained as part of Donyatt's history. Donyatt's Parish Council meet bi-monthly in the David Willis Room at the Village Hall. Currently comprising six Councillors, we have a vacancy for anyone who would like to make a positive contribution to the Village they call home.
