Hiking
The railway bridge ruins are the abutments (supports) of the former Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway bridge over the River Stour. The line, which linked Bath and Bournemouth, closed in 1966 as part of the Beeching Cuts. The main span was demolished, leaving the brick and stone piers visible from the nearby Colber Footbridge. The old railway route is now part of the North Dorset Trailway.
