About The Trailway: The Trailway is a route being developed by Dorset Countryside
along the old Somerset and Dorset Railway Line that closed to rail traffic in 1966. The
old railway line provides an ideal route for a Trailway as it links many of North Dorset’s towns and villages. There are five sections
you can currently visit, that take you through some of North Dorset’s
spectacular countryside, towns and villages. with views of Hambledon Hill, and Hod
Hill, two iron age forts and the meandering River Stour.
The Next Phase: The development of the section between the existing Trailway and
nature reserve at Stalbridge, down to Sturminster Newton, will be the next priority.
Negotiations with the landowners involved, are the first step towards achieving this.
Also 500m from the bypass to Wards Drove. These sections are marked red and yellow
on the map.
The Trailway
A safe, picturesque route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. It is also constructed to
mobility specifications.
