Pulham is a small rural village and civil parish in west Dorset, England, set among rolling farmland and hedged lanes typical of the county’s 'Hardy country'. It lies close to the market town of Beaminster and is within easy reach of the coast and the Jurassic Coast, which makes it quietly popular with walkers and visitors exploring Dorset’s landscape.
Historically the community grew around agriculture and a small manor and still shows its past in a compact cluster of stone cottages and an old parish church; today the local economy mixes farming with small businesses, holiday lets and commuters who value village life. Social life centres on village events and local networks rather than shops, so Pulham retains a strong sense of community and unspoilt countryside character.
