Castleman Trailway, Broadstone

A view of the Castleman Trailway heading north out of Broadstone. This section of the path is also on route 25 of the National Cycle Network. This is the site of a railway junction just to the north of Broadstone station. The path curving off to the left is on the trackbed of the former Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway, which closed in 1966. The road and houses to the right occupy the trackbed of the former line to Wimborne which closed in 1964. These closures were part of the "Beeching Cuts". A short distance further on from where this image was taken, the Castleman Trailway will leave the route of the Somerset & Dorset line and cross over to take up the route towards Wimborne.
