Shillingstone Railway Station Café

Highlight • Cafe

The train line was removed in 1966 but this station was left. Volunteers and enthusiasts have worked here since 1997 restoring the station and laying some track in 2008. It's now a mini museum with the restored station and some rolling stock and engines. They plan to extend the track towards Sturminster Newton and eventually run a heritage railway service.
The cafe and shop are open when the station is open, currently Open on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays 10am-4pm.

North Dorset Trailway

Highlight • Cycleway

The North Dorset Trailway now extends approximately 14 miles from Sturminster Newton to Spetisbury, with a section in Stalbridge they aim to link with, providing a safe route for walkers, runners, cyclists, equestrians and people with mobility scooters. The Trailway is largely made up of sections of the old Somerset and Dorset Railway which linked Bristol and Bournemouth until the 1960s.

Hambledon Hill

Highlight • Summit

The old hill forts offer terrific views once you get towards the top but if you are riding be prepared for plenty of pushing. It isn't flat.
