Winterborne Stickland is a small rural village in Dorset, England, tucked into the rolling clay lowlands of the Blackmore Vale. Its evocative name comes from the winterbourne stream that only flows in the wetter months, and the surrounding landscape of hedged pastures and dairy fields gives the village a distinctly tranquil, pastoral character.
The settlement retains a historic core of stone and thatch cottages and a medieval parish church, and village life centres on a modest community hall and local pub. The economy remains largely agricultural, though many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Sturminster Newton and Blandford Forum, and the place is valued for its sense of history, conservation of vernacular buildings and quiet country lifestyle.
