West Crewkerne is a small, rural civil parish in south Somerset, England, lying just to the west of the market town of Crewkerne and close to the border with Dorset. The area is defined by rolling farmland, hedgerows, narrow country lanes and a scattering of hamlets and traditional stone farmhouses, giving it a distinctly pastoral character.
Historically the local economy has been agricultural, with mixed farming and small-scale cider and horticultural activity, while today residents commonly travel to nearby Crewkerne for shops, services and rail links. Social life revolves around village gatherings, the occasional community event and a network of footpaths that attract walkers who appreciate the quiet historic lanes and countryside.
