シルトンシビルパリッシュでののおすすめグラベルライド

Good climb, was across fields but fine today as they’ve been harvested. Might have been tricky earlier in the year

This route is no longer strictly accessible. It goes through a private farm with locked gates and the Stour estate which requires a permit (£10 per person)

Only opens from Weds to Sunday

Great traffic free ride

Perfect views when the sun is out.

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

A very well maintained and versatile trailway. You'll really not be disappointed with this one

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.
