About

West Verwood lies on the western edge of the town of Verwood in East Dorset. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of housing that dates from different decades arranged along lanes and short cul-de-sacs. Local services include a small parade of shops, a community hall and sports pitches that host weekend football and cricket matches. Day-to-day life centres on the road links that run into the main town, and there are a number of classically English hedged back lanes that connect the neighbourhood to nearby schools and shops.

The western boundary of West Verwood meets open land, where a ribbon of lowland heath and pasture runs along the edge of housing. A network of public footpaths starts from this edge, crossing heath and agricultural fields and providing short circular walks without leaving the parish. Wildlife is visible from many back gardens, and the allotments and small green spaces dotted through the area are used for gardening and community events that mark the village calendar.
