そこから少し登ったところに幹線道路沿いに最近オープンしたカフェ（The Black Cat Cafe）があります。私たちはサイクリングの途中でコーヒーと軽食のために立ち寄りました。とても美味しかったです!!

ノスタルジーに浸る旅に出発！シリングストーン駅は、ドーセットの田園地帯にひっそりと佇む、美しく保存された1950年代のタイムカプセルのようです。かつては伝説的なサマセット＆ドーセット合同鉄道（通称「スロー・アンド・ダーティ」）の重要な駅でしたが、現在は献身的なボランティアチームによって愛情を込めて修復されています。オリジナルのプラットフォームを散策したり、ヴィンテージの信号扱所を探検したり、改造された鉄道車両でお茶を飲むこともできます。ノース・ドーセット・トレイルウェイのハイカーが通り過ぎる中、映画「逢びき」のエキストラになった気分を味わうのに最適な場所です。今日はバース行きの列車はありませんが、雰囲気はまさに最高です！

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.

Shillingstone railway station was a station on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR), serving the village of Shillingstone in the English county of Dorset. Shillingstone is the last surviving example of a station built by the Dorset Central Railway (one of the forerunners of the S&DJR). The station closed in 1966, when services were withdrawn from the S&DJR route. Since 2001, enthusiasts have been working to re-open the station as a heritage railway attraction.[1] The main building has now been renovated, and opened to the public as a museum, shop and refreshment room in 2008.[ The station was opened on 31 August 1863 by the Somerset and Dorset Railway, although planned and designed by one of its two predecessors, the Dorset Central Railway. Initial train services were provided by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR). In 1875, the Midland Railway and the LSWR together took over a joint lease of the line, forming the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway.
