West Camel is a small village and civil parish in rural Somerset, England, lying in the pleasant Camel Vale a few miles north‑west of Yeovil. It occupies a quiet stretch beside the River Cam, with rolling farmland and traditional stone cottages giving it a distinctly rural character while remaining within easy reach of the A303.
The village has medieval roots and a notable parish church with historic fabric, surrounded by a mix of working farms and commuter households; local life centres on community events and the village hall, with good walking country and connections to neighbouring communities such as Queen Camel.
