The road name is a clue that West Moors used to have a railway station. Trains no longer serve West Moors, as the station closed to passengers in 1964.

The road is on the route of the B3072. This section is also on the route of the Castleman Trailway and route 256 of the National Cycle Network, which turn off to the left just ahead.

Castleman Trailway

The Castleman Trailway is a walking and cycling route between Ringwood and Upton Country Park, on the outskirts of Poole. It runs for 16 miles. Much of the route is along the path of a dismantled railway.

The route takes its name from Charles Castleman, who built the railway line in the 1840s.

National Cycle Network route 256

Route 256 of the National Cycle Network is a relatively short route, between the towns of Ringwood in Hampshire and Wimborne Minster in Dorset. It is approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) in length. For almost all of its length, it follows the Castleman Trailway - see Link

The National Cycle Network (provided by David Dixon)

The National Cycle Network is a network of cycle routes. It was created by the charity Sustrans LinkExternal link (Sustainable Transport), aided by a National Lottery grant.

Many routes aim to minimise contact with motor traffic, though 70% of them are on roads. In some cases the NCN uses pedestrian routes, disused railways, minor roads, canal towpaths, or traffic-calmed routes in towns and cities.
