Winterborne Stickland is a small village and civil parish set in the gentle, pasture-rich landscape of the Blackmore Vale in north Dorset, England. Its name hints at the seasonal winterbourne stream that runs through the valley in wet months, a feature that shapes the local fields and lanes and gives the area its distinctive low-lying character.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the settlement retains a scattering of old stone and thatched cottages and a parish church with medieval origins, while the local economy today is a mix of farming, small rural businesses and residents who commute to nearby towns. There is an active community life with village events and an interest in conserving hedgerows, wildlife and traditional rural character.
