Broadstone: postbox № BH18 43, Higher Blandford Road
Lower and Higher Blandford Road between them form a long, largely straight road which does indeed head towards Blandford from Poole (though nowadays traffic is directed along the A350). Here we look up a particularly straight stretch past this postbox, which hugs a telephone pole and is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 11:45am on Saturdays.

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.

Broadstone's Giant Sequoia
Planted by a Miss Cotton in the garden of Home Cottage, 73 Higher Blandford Road, this huge tree is now 560 cms in girth. Discovered in California and only introduced to Europe in 1953, this tree will grow a lot bigger and be visible for miles. It must be Broadstone's largest tree.
