Travel 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.

The room was clean, although the bathroom was on the small size. Didn’t use the swimming pool as It was too busy for the time we wanted to go. The car didn’t have much selection of beers on tap, but most Hotels don’t for some reason.

The whole experience was wonderful. The pool, although cold was well used, followed by a dip in the hot tub. The little private pub was a hit, along with the games room. A beautiful venue for special ocasions. Comfortable rooms, lovely grounds and helpful hosts. Altogether amazing.
