The trig point at Spetisbury Rings is a distinctive feature located on the summit of the ancient Iron Age hillfort, offering excellent panoramic views of the surrounding Dorset countryside and the Stour Valley. Location: The trig point is situated on the highest point of Spetisbury Rings (also historically known as Crawford Castle), an Iron Age hillfort just south of the village of Spetisbury, Dorset. Purpose: A trigonometrical station (or "trig point") is a concrete pillar used by the Ordnance Survey (OS) for the triangulation of Great Britain. They mark a point of high elevation and visibility, which is why they are often found on the summits of hills and mountains. Elevation: The hillfort's summit, where the trig point is located, reaches an elevation of approximately 81 metres (266 feet) above sea level.

Historic Significance: It is a Grade I Listed Building (the highest level of protection), noted for its special architectural and historic interest. Age: The first record of the bridge dates back to 1334, suggesting its medieval origins, with parts of the current structure likely dating to the 15th century. Construction: It is built of coursed rubble and ashlar stone and features nine semi-circular arches. Widening: The bridge was widened in 1819. The upstream side is the original, medieval part and features triangular cut-waters which extend up to form pedestrian refuges. The downstream side is the later, plainer widening. Inscriptions: There is a reset stone on the east side of the bridge inscribed with the year 1719. Name Origin: The bridge is named Crawford Bridge because it carries the road from Spetisbury to Tarrant Crawford. The nearby area of Spetisbury was historically one of three manors, including Great Crawford.

A very nice route indeed. Nothing too demanding at all. Give it a whirl!!!

In addition to the main rail bridge spanning the river, smaller bridges were built to allow traffic and pedestrians to cross the cuttings and track as it travelled north-west. Three bridges were built for this purpose and all of them remain integral to the navigation of the town today. Arguably the most distinctive of them is the Alexandra Street pedestrian footbridge, above the site of the dismantled station. Constructed from iron and now partially supported by four narrow legs, the bridge stands at what was once the northern end of the station, where the single-line section to Templecombe began. Blandford station remained open until 7 March 1966, when the entire line from Bath to Bournemouth closed to passengers. Goods traffic continued for a further three years, but the station was finally closed and the track lifted in 1969. Following the closure, the Damory railway bridges, on the southern approach to the station, were eventually demolished in 1978.

No matter what section you're on here... The views are just so beautiful
