Henstridge is a compact rural village in south Somerset, set near the small towns of Templecombe and Wincanton. The community still revolves around farming and local services, with a village hall, a pub and neighbourhood clubs that sustain an active social life despite its quiet, countryside setting.
Historically medieval in origin, the village retains an old parish church and a scattering of period buildings, while its notable modern feature is Henstridge Airfield, which supports flying, parachuting and a small business park; this mix of agriculture, light industry and recreational aviation gives the place a distinctive local economy and character.
