Tourist Guide

Ford, Charlton Marshall, Dorset Behind the well visited church is this superb ford over the River Stour. It's actually on a bridleway, so good to cross on horseback, but at nearly a foot high of water it would be something of a paddle for walkers.

Charlton Marshall Halt This halt, on the former Somerset & Dorset line, opened on 5th July 1928 and closed from 17th September 1956. The remarkably well-preserved platforms are made out of pre-cast concrete. It's difficult to believe that express trains once belted through here at 70mph, bound for northern cities like Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield. When I took the picture, I didn't realise it was almost 53 years to the day that the halt saw its last passengers.
