Dist:0.4km<br/>The Castleman Trailway generally follows the route of the old Southampton to Dorchester Railway, but immediately West of West Moors makes a detour, presumably because of access problems. Here seen near [[1642822]], before turning South to rejoin the old railway route at Dolman's Crossing. http://www.dorsetforyou.com/media/pdf/4/s/Map_3_of_8_-_Castleman_Trailway_-_West_Moors_to_Ameysford.pdf

Dist:0.6km<br/>This large postbox, emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays, used to be positioned on the forecourt of the post office, when it was situated in the premises that we see across the road. A couple of years ago, the post office moved into the Spar store in the centre of the village, a little south.
