Welcome to the Drimpton village website
We are a small rural community in West Dorset made up of the village of Drimpton and its neighbouring hamlets of Netherhay and Greenham. We hope you find your online visit to our community useful, helpful and even entertaining.
Changes to the website:
Regular visitors will find that the Archive page has been re-located to the Village section and that it no longer accepts submissions. Also, the Newsletter page, which contains a PDF that you can read on-line or download or print, is now on the main navigation bar above.
