Nettlecombe is a small rural parish in Somerset, England, set on the southern fringe of Exmoor a few miles inland from Minehead. The landscape is one of rolling farmland, ancient hedgerows, pockets of mixed woodland and quiet lanes, giving a sense of remoteness while remaining close to the coast and upland walking country.

At its heart is the long-established estate centred on Nettlecombe Court, a historic manor with parkland and gardens that has shaped the local landscape and community for centuries; the parish also includes an old parish church, farmsteads and several listed buildings. The local economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by tourism and outdoor-education activities drawn by the estate and Exmoor, and the community keeps a close-knit, conservation-minded character.
