Croscombe is a compact village and civil parish in the Mendip district of Somerset, England, sitting on the northern slopes of the Mendip Hills not far from Shepton Mallet and Wells. It feels typically Mendip: honey‑coloured limestone cottages, a pleasant village green and easy access to walking and cycling routes across the surrounding countryside.
With medieval origins the village retains many older stone buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries and a strong sense of local history tied to agriculture and the quarrying and mining heritage of the Mendips. Today Croscombe combines rural livelihoods, tourism and commuting to nearby towns, and supports a lively community life centred on its village hall, pubs and local events that reflect contemporary Somerset village culture.
