Winterbourne Gunner is a small, quiet village in rural Wiltshire, set in the chalky Bourne valley just north of Salisbury. Its name reflects the seasonal River Bourne that runs through the valley - a classic winterbourne that can disappear in dry spells - and the settlement sits on the southern edge of Salisbury Plain, with the military training areas and scientific establishments at Porton Down nearby.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a compact historic core of stone and flint houses and a village church, and today combines farming traditions with a commuter population and countryside pursuits such as walking and birdwatching. Its setting on chalk streams and rolling downland gives it a sense of rural tranquillity while remaining within easy reach of the regional centre of Salisbury.
