The landscape is defined by a series of river valleys, primarily the River Brit and Hooke, which carve through the hills. Small villages and hamlets are nestled within this topography, connected by narrow lanes. The area's economy has historically been linked to agriculture and the processing of local materials, such as the flax mills once powered by its waterways.

A notable feature is the Pilsdon Pen hill fort, an ancient earthwork offering expansive views. The area maintains a quiet, agricultural character, with much of the land used for dairy and arable farming. Settlements like Beaminster serve as local market centres for the surrounding rural parishes.
