There are two **River Winterbornes** in [Dorset](/source/Dorset), [England](/source/England).[1]

The rivers only flow overground during the winter, hence the name. They both flow through a number of villages with a first name of "Winterborne" or “Winterbourne”.

The **North Winterborne** flows through the following villages in Dorset from its source to the point where it joins the [River Stour](/source/River_Stour,_Dorset):[2]
