Yetminster is a compact village and civil parish in north‑west Dorset, England, set in the rolling pasture of the Blackmore Vale. It has a long history visible in a medieval parish church and a core of traditional stone houses, with later Victorian additions; the layout and built character give it the feel of a conservation village rather than a modern suburb.
Today the village remains rooted in agriculture, with dairy and mixed farms around it, but also supports a small local economy of shops, a pub and community activities and serves commuters bound for nearby market towns such as Sherborne and Yeovil. Its peaceful lanes and surrounding countryside make it popular with walkers and anyone looking for a quiet slice of rural Dorset with an active village life.
