Spetisbury Station was opened November 1st 1860 and was downgraded to an unstaffed halt on 13 August 1934. The station had two platforms with both having a booking office and waiting room. It was closed to all traffic on 17 September 1956 although the line remained open.

The North Dorset Trailway runs along the route of the old Somerset and Dorset Railway line and takes you through some picturesque villages of the Blackmore vale. The old railway line provides an ideal route for a Trailway as it links many of North Dorset's towns and villages.
