Netherbury is a small rural parish in west Dorset, England, set in the low-lying Marshwood Vale with the River Brit running through the valley. It lies a few miles inland from the coast, within easy reach of Bridport, Beaminster and the Jurassic Coast, and is characterised by winding lanes, stone and thatched cottages and surrounding farmland.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the community retains a compact village core around its parish church and local amenities; village life revolves around farming, small rural enterprises and a modest amount of tourism, with many residents commuting to nearby towns. The mix of historic buildings, quiet countryside and easy access to Dorset’s coastline makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a tranquil rural base.
