Odcombe is a small village and civil parish in South Somerset, England, set on gentle, rolling countryside a few miles from the market town of Yeovil. The settlement has a compact, historic core of stone and thatch cottages and sits within typical Somerset farmland, giving good views across hedged fields and downland; its quiet lanes and rural setting make it popular with walkers and people seeking a village pace of life.
Historically agricultural, the parish still retains strong farming links though many residents now commute to nearby towns for work. Local life revolves around traditional village institutions - a church, pub and village hall - and there’s a noticeable community spirit seen in occasional fetes and conservation-minded care of historic buildings, reflecting a mix of long-standing local families and newer incomers.
