Winterborne Muston, River Winterborne

One of two Dorset rivers bearing this name, this is the North Winterborne. Winterbornes flow in winter, fed by aquifers, and often dry out in summer. They can often be distinguished by the aquatic or marginal vegetation growing in their dry beds in the summer. Here, the river is invisible. To the left, Bridge Cottage. Interestingly, OS shows this location as a ford, whereas it is a bridge. http://www.england-in-particular.info/stour/s-winterborne.html
