Old Trackway and 'Smugglers' Cottage, Trickett's Cross
A view of an ancient trackway that once ran from the banks of the River Stour (Dudsbury hill fort) across the heathland and on into north Dorset and Wiltshire. The cottage on the left of the lane is known as 'Smugglers Cottage', and parts of it are thought to be over 400 years old. The trackway was almost certainly used to take contraband away from the coastal area in the south to 'customers' inland. The road in the foreground is the Wimborne Road, once a turnpike linking that town with Ringwood.

Old Trackway East Dorset
This is a view from the Wimborne Road near Trickett's Cross of the old trackway that once ran from Dudsbury hill fort on the River Stour, across the heathland of this part of Dorset and onto the hinterland of north Dorset and Wiltshire. It was undoubtedly used by smugglers for a time.

99 to London
It is peculiar that this milestone should specify "through Ringwood" – from here, no reasonable route could possibly avoid Ringwood (in the way that it would not be odd to state "through Winchester" as opposed to, say, Andover).
