West Camel is a small rural village and civil parish in South Somerset, England, set beside the River Cam and tucked into rolling farmland. It sits not far from the small market towns of Somerton and Yeovil, giving it a quiet, accessible feel while remaining distinctly countryside.
The village has historic roots reaching back to the medieval period, visible in its traditional stone cottages and parish church, and its economy remains largely agricultural with a number of residents commuting to nearby towns. Community life is centred on the village hall and local pub, and occasional fetes and events reflect the close‑knit, quietly picturesque character typical of Somerset villages.
