Ash is a small rural parish in Somerset, tucked into the rolling countryside between Martock and Somerton. Hedged lanes, mixed farmland and traditional stone cottages give it a characteristically Somerset feel, and the settlement remains largely residential with only a handful of local services.
With medieval roots reflected in the parish church and several older farmhouses, the local economy is focused on mixed farming and small enterprises, while many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Yeovil and Taunton. Community life is quiet but engaged, with village events and a strong sense of local identity typical of small West Country parishes.
