Perfect for Dog Walks as it is safe to let your dog off the lead as long as you consider other Trail users. It is also quite sheltered. Which is helpful when the weather isn’t so great!
The North Dorset Trailway is a multi use bridleway using the route of the old Somerset and Dorset railway line that closed in 1966. The old railway line is a particularly good route as it naturally links up many of the towns and villages across North Dorset.
There are currently 5 sections of Trailway open to the public, the longest being Blandford to Sturminster Newton at over 9 miles (14 Km) long. It is hoped that other sections of the Old Railway Line currently in private ownership will become useable sections of Trailway in the future.
Directions: Off the A354 Blandford Forum bypass, head towards the Tesco superstore, then turn off left towards the free car park beside the Brewery.
