About

Yetminster ward encompasses a rural area centred around the village of Yetminster, located in the North Dorset district. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, small woodlands, and the meandering course of the River Yeo. The settlement itself is a linear village, with many buildings constructed from the distinctive local hamstone, a honey-coloured limestone. Agriculture remains a visible part of the local economy, shaping the surrounding fields and hedgerows.

The ward includes the nearby hamlet of Chetnole, connected by a railway line served by the Heritage South Western Railway. The area maintains a quiet, parish-based community atmosphere, with the notable 15th-century St. Andrew's Church in Yetminster featuring a carved wooden rood screen. Local governance is administered through Yetminster Parish Council, focusing on the maintenance of this largely agricultural environment.
