The character of West Parley is deeply intertwined with its rural setting and proximity to the River Stour. It lies 2.1 km south of Ferndown (from Ferndown: bearing 181°T, OS grid SZ 077 981), and is situated east-south-east of Longham village. This Dorset village retains a peaceful atmosphere, with much of its landscape given over to agricultural land and heathland, characteristic of the wider region. Historically, West Parley would have been a farming community, its development shaped by the fertile land and the availability of water. While no grand historical structures dominate the skyline, the parish church, St. Bartholomew's, offers a glimpse into the village's past. The surrounding countryside provides opportunities for walking and enjoying the natural beauty of the South West.
