Churnet Valley Railway
More than just a railway
The Churnet Valley Railway takes you on a journey back to the classic days of railway travel on a rural line that passes through beautiful countryside known as Staffordshire’s “Little Switzerland”.
Our picturesque stations offer lots of interest with a complete range of visitor facilities, and there’s plenty more to see and enjoy along the way.
In addition to the 11 mile return journey along the valley between Kinglsey & Froghall station and Leekbrook, there’s a taste of contrasting moorland scenery on the 9 mile round trip along the Cauldon branch to Ipstones Loop.
With a programme of special events, dining dates, venue hire and education facilities, we think you will agree that we are more than just a railway!
