Keighley and Worth Valley Railway
The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is a five mile heritage line in West Yorkshire running from Keighley to Oxenhope and operated with restored steam and diesel locomotives. The route passes through countryside and connects several small stations, each preserving its own historical features and original buildings.
The line was originally built in the 19th century to connect the region's textile industry with other markets. After closure in the 1960s, it was reopened in 1968 by railway enthusiasts just before steam services ended on Britain's main railways.
The railway is deeply connected to the Brontë sisters, whose writings were inspired by this landscape. Visitors today can see the same hills and villages described in their novels and understand how the surroundings shaped their stories.
Tickets can be purchased online or at stations, with advance booking often cheaper. The railway runs more frequently in summer months, so visitors should check the timetable beforehand and plan accordingly for operating times.
The railway was used as the filming location for 'The Railway Children' in 1970 and several stations still look exactly as they did on screen. It has also appeared in TV shows including 'Peaky Blinders' and 'Testament of Youth'.
