Winterborne Zelston is a village and civil parish in north Dorset, England.[1] It is situated in a winterbourne valley on the A31 road 8 miles (13 km) south of Blandford Forum and 10 miles (16 km) north-west of Poole. The parish had a population of 141 in 2001.[2] In 2013 the estimated population of the civil parish was 90.[3]
The first name of "Winterborne" comes from the River Winterborne, which flows from west to east through the village.[4] The river only flows overground during the winter, hence the name. To the west is Winterborne Tomson and to the north-east is Almer. The river flows through both these villages as well.
