Bincombe is a small rural village and civil parish in Dorset, England, sitting a few miles inland from Weymouth and within easy reach of Dorchester. It occupies gentle, rolling countryside and higher ground that gives pleasant views across the coast - including Chesil Beach and Portland - and lies not far from the Jurassic Coast, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter base near the sea.
The community is largely residential with surrounding farmland and a mix of historic cottages and listed buildings, and many residents commute to nearby towns. Local interest comes from surviving historic features and lanes that hint at earlier settlement, a quiet village social life and the area's links to the maritime and agricultural history of coastal Dorset.
