Welcome to West Moors.....

West Moors is a delightful village located in Dorset, approximately 10 miles from Bournemouth and 100 miles southwest of London. It is predominately a residential area set upon what was once a moorland, hence it's name.

In the early years West Moors was a sparsely populated heathland hamlet at the northern end of the ancient Parish of West Parley, Dorset (Recorded in the 1066 Doomsday book as Perlai) and fell within the Hundred of Cranborne, until the end of the 1900's. .
