One of two Dorset rivers with (almost) the same name, and one of half a dozen in the southern chalk counties. Winterbournes flow in winter and often dry out in summer. The South Winterborne rises in Winterbourne Abbas (the use of Winterbourne or Winterborne seems dependent on locality), and flows here through Martinstown (also known as Winterborne St Martin) before joining the Frome in West Stafford
