English: Castleman Trail, Broadstone From Upton, near Poole, to Ringwood the route of the Southampton & Dorchester Railway, except for a portion around Wimborne, has been converted into a cyclepath called the Castleman Trail after the Wimborne solicitor largely responsible for the promotion of the railway. The line had opened in 1847 but was closed to passengers in 1964, though goods traffic survived over the pictured section for another 13 years. The path here is running between the garden walls of houses in Lower Golf Links Road, Broadstone, and the golf course and the small brick plinth almost under the nearest tree is all that remains of a footbridge over the railway that allowed players safe access from that road. Today golfers can drive to a new clubhouse from Station Approach, though the station, like the railway and footbridge, is also no more.
