Queen Camel is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set in the valley of the River Cam. It sits within easy reach of the A303 and the larger town of Yeovil, giving a generally rural feel while remaining convenient for commuting and local services.
Documented since medieval times, the village retains a compact historic core of stone cottages and a notable parish church, and the "Queen" prefix hints at a medieval royal association. The local economy is traditionally agricultural but now includes small businesses and commuters, and community life revolves around the village hall, pub and annual events that keep a strong village identity.
