CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Symondsbury is one of the largest parishes in West Dorset, bounded by the Marshwood Vale to the north and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast to the south. The River Simene, its source just north of the parish, meanders through the village and meets with the River Brit, to continue its journey to the sea at West Bay. Situated approximately 16 miles west of Dorchester and one and a half miles west of Bridport, our parish is also within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landmark of Symondsbury is Colmers Hill.
