Stapehill, trails
At this point, two trails cross Uddens Drive: the Castleman Trailway, and the Ferndown, Stour & Forest Trail. The former roughly follows the route of the "Castleman Corkscrew" railway line, which was actually about 100m to the South.

Line of Castleman Railway, Ferndown
Looking south west along the track bed of the former Castleman Railway, which closed in 1964.
The Castleman Trialway is about 300 metres to the north west and has not followed the line of the old railway since the centre of West Moors. However, it rejoins the old railway at Merley and follows the line to just north of Upton Park.
