Butcombe is a small, quiet parish in North Somerset, sitting among rolling farmland on the northern fringes of the Mendip Hills. The settlement is made up of a handful of houses, farmsteads and traditional stone buildings, and the surrounding lanes and hedgerows give it a distinctly rural character while still lying within easy reach of Bristol and the Chew Valley.
Historically agricultural, the parish has a handful of notable country houses and a parish church and has long combined farming with country living; in more recent decades its name has become better known regionally through a small brewing business that took its inspiration from the village. Social life tends to centre on village and church events, with many residents commuting to nearby towns while others work locally in agriculture, tourism and small enterprises.
