Trailway

And there is the nearby Trailway - this occupies (mostly) the right-of-way of the now-sadly-defunct Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway, that ran from Bristol to Poole.  This Trailway now forms a mostly level route for walkers, cyclists and riders from Sturminster Newton to Blandford Forum.  Access is at Shillingstone, or along the road to Hammoon.  For more, click >here<
