Upper Coxley and Coxley Wick are small, quietly tucked-away hamlets in rural Somerset, set amid hedged pastures and rolling countryside typical of the county. They feel very much like traditional English rural settlements, with a mix of stone cottages and working farms and plenty of lanes and footpaths that attract walkers and riders exploring the nearby countryside and Mendip fringe.
Both names point to long histories - the "wick" element often signalling a historic farm or seasonal settlement - and the local economy has long been rooted in agriculture, though some buildings have been converted to residences or holiday accommodation in recent decades. Socially these places are low-key and community-minded, reliant on nearby market towns for services but valued for their tranquillity, wildlife and sense of historic rural character.
