Churnet Valley Railway
The Churnet Valley Railway, is a picturesque heritage Steam Railway that runs through the Staffordshire’s Little Switzerland, the Churnet Valley. It meanders alongside the Caldon Canal and the River Churnet for a delightful nostalgic ten and a half mile return journey. Kingsley & Froghall Station has ample parking and disabled access and is home to the award winning traditional Tea Room and the railways Souvenir Shop both of which are open on running days. Consall Station has no public road access making it very quiet and isolated in its situation beside the weir on River Churnet where the canal splits from the river. Nearby are the Lime Kilns and the Black Lion Public House.
At Cheddleton Station you can visit the Railway’s Engine Sheds and its small Railway Artefacts Museum. Trains run Sundays Easter to October, Saturdays May to September and
