Ryme Intrinseca is a very small, tranquil village in north Dorset, England, set among rolling farmland and narrow lanes. The settlement is compact and rural, with stone cottages and a tiny parish church at its heart, and sits close to its similarly named neighbour Ryme Extrinsica - the "intrinseca" and "extrinsica" suffixes reflecting the old distinction between the inner and outer Ryme.
Historically the community is medieval in origin and has retained a distinctly agricultural character, though many residents now commute to larger towns for work. Its quiet lanes, historic buildings and low population give it a conservation‑minded, villagey feel that appeals to walkers and anyone after a peaceful Dorset countryside setting rather than lively local amenities.
