Netherbury is a small village in west Dorset, tucked into the wooded valley of the River Brit and overlooked by the distinctive wooded cone of Colmer's Hill. It sits a few miles inland from coastal towns such as Bridport and Beaminster, giving it a quiet rural feel while keeping the Jurassic Coast within easy reach.
The village has a compact centre of traditional stone cottages and historic buildings, and its economy still revolves around farming, small local businesses and a modest level of tourism; walkers and cyclists use the lanes and footpaths that radiate out into the surrounding countryside. Social life is centred on the parish church, village hall and occasional local events, so it retains a close-knit community atmosphere despite being popular with visitors seeking Dorset’s scenery and history.
