Corscombe is a small village and civil parish in Dorset, England, tucked into rolling farmland and wooded combes typical of the county. The settlement has a tight-knit feel, with stone and thatched cottages clustered along a lane, network of public footpaths and lanes that attract walkers, and a quiet rural landscape that changes with the seasons.
Historically the area has been agricultural and many of the buildings and lanes reflect that farming past; today the local economy mixes working farms with residents who commute to nearby towns and a modest amount of tourism. The village retains a strong community spirit centred on its church, village hall and pub, and there are several old houses and farmsteads of architectural interest that hint at its long history.
