Ashley Heath Halt (Castleman Trailway)

Highlight • Historical Site

Castleman trailway: Travel from Ringwood to Poole along the disused Southampton to Dorchester railway line on this easy cycle and walking route. Route highlights include 3 lovely country parks - Avon Heath Country Park, Moors Valley Country Park and Upton Country Park.
The trail runs for a distance of about 15 miles on a fairly flat path so it's a good ride for families or anyone looking for an easy, sheltered walk.

Moors Valley Forest Parking

Highlight • Forest

If you drive to the forest, the parking spot gets quite full quickly at weekends. early bird catches the spot to park and all that?! dog walkers and ramblers share this trails car spaces, so maybe 10 vehicles can fit. more spaces down at the bottom of Hill. If not, then it's an easy ride from Verwood Ebblake industrial estate. if your camping at the caravan and camping club site, there is some great off road routes to get there to make it a good half day ride for intermediate fitness a minimum. I will post a route this summer for sure!
loads of little trails and some longer official routes around the Moors valley Park. loads of unofficially built greatness to be found for the gravity orientated rider.
The trails here are maintained by respectful locals and forestry commission. Non reaction to potential grumpy dog walkers helps the site stay out of trouble. Manners cost nothing, and litter bugs only add ammunition to the people opposed to two wheeled fun!
