Flower Delivery to Odcombe with Clare Florist

Odcombe is a small village located in Southwest England. This civil parish belongs to Somerset Shire County. Odcombe is situated very close to the famous town of Yeovil (3 miles east of Odcombe).

This village is surrounded with a fertile ground which is probably the reason why people settled in this region centuries ago. Odcombe was mentioned in the famous Domesday book in the 11^th century. Back then, this village was owned by Robert who was described as the Count of Mortain. The village was developing in a similar way like the rest of the villages in Somerset and it was influenced by the Industrial Revolution in the 19^th century. Today, most of the people from this village are involved in agriculture or work in Yeovil.

What is interesting about this village is its structure and the buildings found there. Odcombe is practically divided into two parts – the upper part is situated on the hill while the lower part is built on the slopes of the hill. Whilst it is true that the area around Odcombe is not very attractive, what many people like about this small village is the buildings found there. They are very charming and although the houses were mostly renovated in the 20^th centuries they have kept their old appearance.

It is also worth mentioning that in the past two decades the population of Odcombe has doubled because of the new developments in this area.

Finally, Odcombe was the place where some notable people from the past lived. Here’s a short list of some of them – George Strong (a soldier from the 19^th century with Victoria Cross award), Humphrey Hody (famous theologian and monk), Thomas Coryat (writer and traveler) etc.

Odcombe is located 134 miles west of London. Drivers can reach Odcombe after a 3-hour drive via A303 road.
