Castleman Trailway

Castleman's Corkscrew Trailway is a walking, cycling and horse riding route that follows much of the old railway line from Southampton to Dorchester. It is named after Charles Castleman, a Wimborne barrister, who was responsible for building the original railway line and was the first to connect Dorset to the wider rail network. The trailway is 16.5 miles long and runs through some of the beautiful East Dorset countryside, with moorland, rivers and woodland. It is also connected to Avon Heath Country Park, Moors Valley Country Park and Upton Country Park.

really enjoyed riding along the trail, only thing was i wanted to ride to sandbanks and ended up getting lost , the signs along the trek were a bit confusing , i ended up riding back home after getting to colehill, will try again in the next week or so .

Great traffic free route for the whole family. Bit muddy at times
