Winterborne St. Martin, commonly called Martinstown, is a small rural parish in Dorset, England. It sits in a classic winterbourne valley - the seasonal stream that gives the village its name often runs only in the wetter months - on the edge of chalk downland and a few miles from Dorchester, so it attracts walkers and anyone after quiet countryside within easy reach of a town.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, complemented by residents who commute to nearby centres; the village retains a strong community feel with a village hall, seasonal fetes and a historic parish church, and a mix of traditional cottages and farmsteads that give Martinstown a distinctly characterful Dorset atmosphere.
