> What about on the countryside? Villagers traveled to church and other villages regularly.

"Regularly" may have been once a week (e.g., Lord's Day / Sunday). Otherwise people lived either in villages themselves, or in hamlets (collective security at night) and 'commuted' to their fields. Or on-site of the land owner if they were workers (earlier: serfs).

Living on a farmstead wasn't really a thing until relatively recently in history.
