Rodney Stoke is a small village and civil parish on the southern fringe of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England. Set among limestone ridges, valley woodlands and pasture, it sits close to the dramatic landscape of Cheddar Gorge and is popular with walkers and nature lovers for its ancient woodland and species-rich grassland.
Historically associated with the local Rodney family, the settlement retains a cluster of stone-built houses, a historic parish church and a quiet rural character. The local economy is largely agricultural with a modest element of tourism and commuter households travelling to larger centres such as Bristol and Bath, while village facilities and community events help sustain a strong local social life.
