History and Development: Foundation: The church was founded in the 13th century, with the first recorded Rector in 1297. Early Construction: The north wall of the nave, likely from the late 12th or early 13th century, is the oldest surviving part. It was originally an aisleless, two-compartment building. 13th Century Expansion: Around the mid-13th century, the chancel was rebuilt on a larger scale. A project to build a larger nave was started, with the south wall being built, but it was not completed to match the chancel's axis. 15th Century Additions: In the 15th century, new windows were added to the old north wall, and the nave was re-roofed.

The North Dorset Trailway now extends approximately 14 miles from Sturminster Newton to Spetisbury, with a section in Stalbridge they aim to link with, providing a safe route for walkers, runners, cyclists, equestrians and people with mobility scooters. The Trailway is largely made up of sections of the old Somerset and Dorset Railway which linked Bristol and Bournemouth until the 1960s.

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 The station closed in 1966, when services were withdrawn from the S&DJR route.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.

A beautiful ancient bridge lovely views in all seasons x

There are documentary references to the building of "A Bridge on the River Stour adjacent to the White Mill" in the year 1175. Although the bridge you'll see today is probably a sixteenth century structure (somewhat hacked around by the Victorians). It is known, from an investigation of the foundations a few years ago, that the bridge stands on timber pilings which have themselves been carbon dated to the twelfth century. This is alleged to be the oldest bridge site in Dorset. Note the bridge warning plate "Any person wilfully damaging any part of this County Bridge will be guilty of Felony and upon conviction liable to be Transported For Life by the court"

Black Cactus is a very friendly cafe with delicious food. you can charge up, recharge and refresh. Nice space to park your bikes right infront too. dogs also welcome.

Beautiful Dorset countryside - rolling hills - nothing too steep

From this beautiful multi-arched stone bridge, you can enjoy views of the River Stour as it flows through Blandford Forum. The only downside is that it has a sidewalk on only one side.

The King's Mill is located next to the River Stour. Once an old mill, the building has been restored and is now a private residence. Keep an eye out for the otters which live in this area.

fantastic stop. if you have time and it's open go inside this working mill.

Still milling flour today, this beautiful mill is well worth taking five minutes to listen to the water. You might even be lucky enough to spot the local otter!

Now run as a museum and a working flour mill. The current building dates back to 1650 but there has been a mill here since at least 1016. Open seasonally so call 01258 471 878 to check. March to Sep open Mon, Thurs, Sat and Sun from 11:00 - 17:00.

Cracking little spot on the edge of the river Stour to stop for lunch, or even just a quick break from a day's riding!
