These are the world's notable hamlets — the smallest tier of settlement: a handful of houses, a chapel and fields, belonging to a parish or municipality rather than governing themselves, densest across Alpine, Mediterranean and lowland English country. This library is large, so it is browsed by continent, then by country. Each profile shows where the hamlet lies, which country administers it, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.

17799 hamlets from 67 countries. This library is large, so it is browsed in two steps: pick a continent, then a country; each country page lists its hamlets a screen at a time. Open any hamlet for its full profile.
