From the Wikipedia article
East Holme is a small village and civil parish situated about halfway between Wool and Wareham in Dorset, England. The village is sprawled around a large house called Holme Priory. In 2013 the estimated population of the civil parish was 50. The South West Main Line from London Waterloo to Weymouth runs through the village and, although the train does not stop, the village contains one of only a few of the remaining staffed gate crossings. These have become particularly rare in the area.
