Tuchomie [tuˈxɔmjɛ] (German: Groß Tuchen) is a village in Bytów County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Tuchomie.[1] It lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) west of Bytów and 89 km (55 mi) west of the regional capital Gdańsk.
