Babcary is a small rural village in Somerset, England, set beside the gentle curves of the River Cary. The area is particularly noted for Babcary Meadows, a species‑rich hay meadow designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and the landscape of pasture, hedgerows and waterways that is typical of South Somerset.
With medieval roots, the village retains a compact cluster of traditional houses and a parish church, and agriculture has long been the economic backbone alongside modern commuters to nearby towns. It’s a quiet, community‑minded place with active conservation interest in its wildlife and historic buildings, giving it a strong sense of local identity.
