Odcombe is a compact village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set on a gentle hill with wide views over the surrounding rolling countryside and close to the market town of Yeovil. The lanes are lined with traditional stone and thatch cottages and the parish retains a largely rural character despite being within easy reach of larger towns.
Historically agricultural, the village centres on a medieval parish church, St Peter's Church, and a small cluster of community facilities; local life is marked by village events, a village hall and a handful of small businesses, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work. The combination of historic buildings, pastoral setting and an active local community gives Odcombe a quietly distinctive village feel.
