Cocklake is a small rural hamlet in Somerset, England, set within the county’s patchwork of hedged fields, lanes and farmsteads. The place name hints at historic ponds or marshy ground, a feature often associated with the nearby Somerset Levels, while the rolling Mendip Hills and other classic Somerset landscapes are within the wider area.
Like many tiny Somerset settlements, Cocklake has an agricultural character with traditional cottages and converted barns; everyday life tends to revolve around farming, local community events and nearby market towns for services. It’s the sort of place that appeals to walkers and people after quiet country views, wildlife and a sense of rural history rather than big tourist attractions.
