The North Dorset Trailway

The North Dorset Trailway is a nine+ miles off road path along the former Somerset and Dorset track bed. It is an excellent route for walking or cycling as the surrounding River Stour scenery is very special and the view across the railway tracks towards Hambledon and Hod Hills, both ancient hill forts, is splendidly panoramic.

 

                                    

                               The Trailway runs past the station

 

 

Many of our visitors arrive after a walk or cycle ride or take a walk along the trailway during their visit. From Shillingstone Station it’s three miles to Sturminster Newton, three to Stourpaine and six to Blandford.
