Castleman Way, Ringwood

This road has been built on the trackbed of a railway which had opened in 1847 but was closed in 1966. It was promoted by Charles Castleman, a Wimborne solicitor, and the winding route from Brockenhurst to Poole Junction soon became known as Castleman’s Corkscrew. The road name commemorates Charles Castleman.
