Winterbourne Stoke is a small rural parish in Wiltshire, sitting on the southern edge of the chalk of Salisbury Plain where the seasonal River Bourne runs as a winterbourne. The village occupies classic downland countryside with long views, ancient barrows and farmland, and it lies within easy reach of the Stonehenge landscape and the military training areas that give the plain its distinctive open character.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains a historic parish church and a farming-based economy, while modern life includes commuting to nearby towns and the influence of the A303 corridor. The community is small and close-knit, attracting walkers and antiquarians interested in the archaeology and wide skies of the surrounding downland.
