The B3092 road is a B road running through Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset for approximately 30 miles.

Route

The southern terminus is at the junction with the A357 near Sturminster Newton. It continues through Marnhull, Gillingham and Maiden Bradley to its northern terminus near Frome, at its junction with the A361. It also crosses the River Stour, the A30, the main Exeter to London railway line, the A303, the River Frome and the A362. For much of its length it is in the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The entire AONB is rich with an archaeological heritage left by the very earliest settlers of the rigion.[1] At its highest point near Maiden Bradley the road reaches 205 metres above sea level; at its lowest (near Sturminster) just 54 metres.

The B3092 Road is the only route of access into or out of Maiden Bradley.
