향수를 불러일으키는 곳으로 모두 탑승하세요! Shillingstone Station은 Dorset 시골에 자리 잡은 아름답게 보존된 1950년대 타임캡슐과 같습니다. 한때 전설적인 Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway("Slow and Dirty")의 중요한 정거장이었던 이곳은 현재 헌신적인 자원봉사자 팀에 의해 정성스럽게 복원되고 있습니다. 원래 플랫폼을 거닐고, 빈티지 신호소를 탐험하고, 개조된 철도 차량에서 차를 마실 수도 있습니다. North Dorset Trailway 하이커들이 지나가는 동안 Brief Encounter의 엑스트라인 척하기에 완벽한 장소입니다. 오늘은 Bath행 기차가 없지만 분위기는 순수한 금입니다!

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 The station closed in 1966, when services were withdrawn from the S&DJR route.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

The hill is now a National Nature Reserve (NNR) with common plants including milkwort, salad burnet, horseshoe vetch, squinancywort, pyramidal orchid and wild thyme.

In August 2014, Hambledon Hill fort was acquired by the National Trust for £450,000. The money to buy the hill had come from a Natural England grant and a legacy gift left to benefit Dorset countryside. The hillfort is a Scheduled Monument, as is the adjacent Neolithic causewayed camp.
