Hamlet (place)

Hamlet is not a place, but rather a type of settlement. A settlement is a small community where a group of people live, work, and socialize together. A hamlet is one of the smaller types of settlements, usually with fewer people and buildings than a village or town. Hamlets are often found in rural areas, where people live on farms or in small houses surrounded by fields and forests. In a hamlet, everyone knows each other and people often work together to support each other and the community.
