Abbotsbury railway station

Abbotsbury, Italy

Abbotsbury was the terminus of the Abbotsbury branch railway in the west of the English county of Dorset. Serving the village of Abbotsbury, it was sited amid fields to the east of the village on the Weymouth to Abbotsbury road, because the railway could not buy the land needed to build the station

nearer to the village centre. Plans for westward expansion came to nothing and led to the railway petering out in a shallow cutting to the west of the station.
