A winding stream is one that does not run in a straight line, but "winds" (rhymes with "find" not with "tinned") its way around obstacles and high spots. This is typical on fairly flat land where the water runs more slowly. On a greater slope the speed of the water tends to gouge out a fairly stright run. Winding streams therefore suggest calm, slow moving water and therefore a calm countryside setting.
