The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is a gem of preserved railway heritage, running 5 miles through the atmospheric Brontë Country of West Yorkshire between the busy junction of Keighley and the wild, windswept terminus of Oxenhope. The line, originally opened in 1867, was famously used as the location for the beloved 1970 film The Railway Children, with Oakworth station playing the role of "Oakworth." Today, the station remains virtually unchanged since the Victorian era, complete with gas lamps and period signage. The railway is run entirely by volunteers and offers regular steam-hauled services through Haworth — home of the Brontë Parsonage — and the hillside community of Damems, one of England's smallest request stops. The line hosts a rich calendar of events from 1940s weekends to real ale and music trains.
