Its nearest town is Bath, which lies approximately 3.7 mi north-east from the hamlet. Inglesbatch Farm has an acreage of over 1000 acres.
History
Inglesbatch, like the neighbouring Englishcombe, probably derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon personal name "Ingwald", as in Ingwald's batch, with batch possibly denoting a hillock or stream or valley.
The earliest record of a settlement at Inglesbatch was recorded in 1290. In 1530 there is reference to the village having its own manor, but by 1611 it appears to have been subsumed into the lands of Englishcombe Manor.
