Ringwood is a closed railway station in the county of Hampshire which served the town of Ringwood. It lay on the former Southampton and Dorchester Railway, the original main line from Brockenhurst to Dorchester. The later development of Bournemouth as a major town led to the building of a branch from Ringwood through to Christchurch, later extended to Bournemouth. In 1885 the present main line from Brockenhurst to Christchurch was built and the Ringwood line relegated to branch line status. The Christchurch line closed in the 1930s and the "Old Road" as the line was called after its demotion was closed in the Beeching purges of the 1960s and 70's.

The Line Today

The location today is now part of the Castleman Trailway.
