Today, the village is a peaceful and picturesque place to live, with a strong sense of community and a range of local amenities, including a village hall, a pub, and a post office.

Despite its small size, Wereham has a lot to offer visitors. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding.
