    Cycling

    Known as the Castleman's Corkscrew, this former Southampton to Dorchester railway line is an excellent flat gravel track. It forms a section of National Cycle Network 2 that connects Brockenhurst with Burley. It was named after its founder Charles Castleman, and the meandering route it took.

    Castleman’s Corkscrew Trailway is a walking, cycling and horse riding route that follows much of the old Southampton to Dorchester railway line. It is named after Charles Castleman, a Wimborne solicitor, who was responsible for building the original railway line and the first to connect Dorset to the wider rail network. The trailway is 16.5 miles (26.5 kilometres) long and passes through some of East Dorset’s stunning landscape, including heathland, rivers and forests. It also links with Avon Heath Country Park, Moors Valley Country Park and Upton Country Park.
