Geocache Description:


Welcome to our Geocache. We have hidden it on the Castleman Trail, a lovely footpath following a disused railway. 

The route can be accessed easily by cyclists, walkers and horse riders. Parking is close by on the corner of Hurn Lane.

The location is very close to Ringwood, the gateway to the New Forest, try and take a visit whilst in the area, Wednesday is Market day and there are plenty of cafes.

The Trailway is named after Charles Castleman, a Wimborne Solicitor, who was responsible for building the original railway line and the first to connect Dorset to the wider rail network. The Southampton to Dorchester to railway line was nicknamed the Castleman Corkscrew, after its founder and the meandering route it took. It was closed by Dr. Beeching in 1964. However it had been a secondary route once a coastal main line had been established between Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole.
