Thanks to its location on high land, the village has far-reaching views across heather-covered moors and wooded valleys from many points. Countless footpaths and bridleways meander across the unspoiled countryside near holiday cottages in Cutcombe.

The walk to Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor's highest point, is spectacular. On a clear day, it offers views of the Bristol Channel, the Mendips, North Devon, and Dartmoor. A ramble through Snowdrop Valley is highly recommended on self-catering holidays in Cutcombe, particularly in February, when the woods are blanketed in flowers. 

In neighbouring Wheddon Cross is a small grocery, a post office, a petrol station and a village hall. At the crossroads in the heart of the village, there is an atmospheric pub, the Rest and Be Thankful Inn, where good food and a variety of Somerset ales and ciders are served. Cutcombe is near the A396, which runs south to Tiverton and north to the Bristol Channel coast. There is a sand and shingle beach at Blue Anchor and another at the seaside town of Minehead.
