Just a stone’s throw from the outskirts of the Peak District, the Churnet Valley Railway is a preserved standard gauge heritage railway in the Staffordshire Moorlands of Staffordshire, England. It operates along part of the former Churnet Valley Line which was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1849, passing through beautiful countryside with riverside views including Caldon Canal, known as Staffordshire’s “Little Switzerland.” Rail enthusiasts will enjoy viewing both steam and diesel locomotives at Cheddleton Station. This time of year, it’s all aboard the Polar Express. Fashioned after the movie, the hour-long ride departs from Froghall Station.
