Winterborne Came is a small, rural parish in Dorset, England, a few miles west of Dorchester. It sits on a classic chalk landscape and takes its name from the winterbourne stream that runs only in wetter months; the settlement is made up of a handful of houses and farmsteads set among rolling downland and pasture, giving a very quiet, agricultural character.
The area is perhaps best known for the country estate centred on Came House and its parkland, and for a cluster of listed buildings reflecting its long manor-based history. With a tiny population and limited services, local life is largely agricultural or commuter-based to nearby towns, while walkers and heritage visitors appreciate the parish for its tranquillity and links into the wider Dorset countryside.
