Holmsley Station

Holmsley Station was on the Brockenhurst to Wimborne line, part of 'Castleman's Corkscrew' the onetime LSWR main line from Southampton to Weymouth. After closure in the 1960's the track became a road and the station became the Holmsley Tea Rooms.

Greenberry Bridge

Greenberry Bridge spanned the old LSWR main line between Holmsley and Ringwood. It survived the line's closure, but was demolished when it became unsafe in 1995. The trackbed is part of the Castleman Trail, well used by walkers and riders.
