Yetminster is a small village and civil parish in Dorset, tucked into the gentle pastures of the Blackmore Vale alongside the small River Wriggle. It lies between Sherborne and Yeovil and has a station on the Heart of Wessex Line, so it feels rural while remaining reasonably connected to larger towns.
The village has medieval roots and a traditional parish church, and its compact centre of stone and thatched cottages sits within a conservation-minded landscape. Agriculture - particularly dairy and mixed farming - still shapes the local economy, but there are also commuters and small local businesses; community life is quietly active, attractive to walkers and anyone interested in Dorset’s rural heritage.
