Whilst walking the path, why not take in the old railway station at Shilligstone where you can grab a tea and homemade cake in the station house or visit the railway museum, run by volunteers and enthusiasts, a short section of line has been re-instated and soon you may be able to take a short ride on one of the restored engines back to Sturminster. A short walk from the town centre you can cross the Stour on an historic five arch bridge and visit one of Britain's oldest functioning water mills, where volunteers still grind flour, which you can purchase at the mill, or why not just sit and relax with a cup of tea and a homemade cake. Field sports are well represented in the surrounding areas and there is excellent coarse fishing on The Stour.
