About

Stratton, Holcombe and Highbury is a civil parish in the Somerset West and Taunton district of Somerset, made up of the three settlements whose names form the parish title. The area is mainly farmland crossed by narrow lanes and a network of public footpaths. Built features include farmhouses, cottages and a small number of community buildings such as a village hall and a parish church. Local roads link the settlements without forming a single built-up area, so each village retains its own pattern of streets and fields.

Local life revolves around agriculture, small-scale enterprises and community activities organised through the parish council, which administers services across the three settlements. The field patterns and hedgerows reflect long-established boundaries and traditional management practices. Footpaths and lanes are used for daily access and for walks that connect the villages, and a programme of local meetings and occasional events brings residents together across the combined parish.
