Wiveliscombe is a small market town and civil parish in Somerset, England, set on the western edge of rolling farmland and moorland where the high ground of the Brendon Hills meets the approaches to Exmoor. The town sits near the headwaters of the River Tone, giving fine rural views and easy access to walking and cycling routes across the surrounding hills and lanes.
Historically a market and agricultural centre, Wiveliscombe still shows that legacy in its independent shops, cafés, craft businesses and small food producers, while a medieval parish church and pockets of historic architecture hint at its past. It has a lively local scene for community events and outdoor pursuits, attracting visitors who like countryside markets, antiques and the quieter side of West Country life.
