Re-instated railway bridge for trailway, north of Stourpaine on old S&DJR
Trains used the old bridge until the S&DJR closed in 1966 and the bridge span was removed. Span replaced in 2010 for trailway opening.
The Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway – almost always referred to as "the S&D" – was an English railway line connecting Bath in north east Somerset and Bournemouth now in south east Dorset but then in Hampshire. It was never a high speed line: its winter business was carrying freight and local passenger traffic over the Mendips, but in the summer season the S&D came into its own, carrying a heavy service of Saturday holiday trains from northern towns to Bournemouth. It was often referred to as "the Slow and Dirty" or sometimes "the Slow and Doubtful".
It always commanded a considerable loyalty from railway enthusiasts, and when it closed in 1966 it was widely mourned.
Level walk or cycle along part of a trailway that runs from Stourpaine to Sturminster Newton.
