Wessex Wanderer Railway Walks
'Walks are led by experienced volunteer members of the Ramblers' Association and begin from stations along the wonderfully scenic "Heart of Wessex" railway line (which is 87 miles long) and runs between Bristol & Weymouth, with 20 stations along the way. This is an excellent way of escaping to the countryside, seaside or visiting market towns without the need to drive ... These are free public guided walks.'

'Discover Dorset's unspoilt countryside with "Trains to Trails" - the detailed guide to walks from Dorset Stations. Pick up the complete leaflet at your nearest First Great Western station, or download PDF versions ... Starting and ending at the same rural station, the routes all include at least one pub and are within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.'
Note Originally here the Website Heart of Wessex Line Walks; now promoted by the Ramblers, but without the downloadable PDFs. Not clear whether copies of the Leaflet(s) are still available from Great Western Railway (the franchise successor to FGW).
