Nether Cerne is a hamlet and civil parish in the English county of Dorset.

[1] Nether Cerne is sited by the small River Cerne which rises near Minterne Magna 4 miles (6.4 km) to the north and runs in a narrow valley which is aligned roughly north-south.

The settlement of Nether Cerne comprises a church and adjacent late 17th-century house, plus a few cottages.

[2] In 1906 Sir Frederick Treves described the house and church as "ancient old cronies, still hobnobbing together".

[3] All Saints Church was originally built from rubble and flint in the second half of the 13th century,[2] though it was restored in 1876[4] and has a 15th-century tower.
