Milborne Port is a small historic village in Somerset, England, sitting close to the Dorset border beside the River Yeo. It occupies a pleasant, slightly elevated spot among mixed farmland and lanes, with the character of a traditional market settlement rather than a modern commuter estate.
Historically it grew around a medieval market and the regional cloth trade and even returned MPs as a parliamentary borough until the Reform Act of 1832; remnants of its past survive in the parish church, old inns and stone houses. Today the community is quiet but active, with local shops, a village hall and pubs, and many residents commuting to nearby centres such as Yeovil and Sherborne, giving it a blend of rural charm and practical links to larger towns.
