West Camel Somerset Map

About West Camel

West Camel, a quiet corner of Somerset, exhales a gentle rural character. It lies 9.0 km north-north-east of Yeovil (from Yeovil: bearing 12°T, OS grid ST 574 247), and is situated west of Queen Camel village. The land here, a soft green quilt, slopes with a modesty that speaks of ancient cultivation, the fields catching the afternoon sun in a pale gold light. The houses, mostly of local stone, huddle together as if for warmth against the wide Somerset sky, their chimneys sending thin trails of smoke into the air. A sense of enduring peace pervades the lanes, where the occasional tractor rumble is the loudest sound to disturb the quietude. The very air seems to hold a memory of generations who have worked this soil, their lives unfolding with the turning seasons.
