    The "Local" Pooh Sticks Bridge
    While not the literary original, the bridge in Winterborne Zelston is a favorite for this game because of the geography of the village:


    The Winterborne Stream: The village is named after the stream that runs through it. This is a "winterborne" (a stream that only flows when the water table is high, usually in winter and spring).

    The Village Bridge: There is a small, picturesque bridge near the center of the village (close to the church and the red phone box) where the water flows clearly over a shallow bed.
