Keighley And Worth Valley Railway
About
The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is a 5‑mile heritage line that winds through the picturesque Brontë Country of West Yorkshire, offering visitors an immersive journey back in time. Steam and diesel trains glide past historic stations such as Keighley, Oakworth, and Oxenhope, while the familiar scenery of the Worth Valley—complete with the iconic Mytholmes Viaduct—provides a living backdrop to one of Britain’s most beloved film settings. Beyond the everyday steam era rides, the railway hosts a variety of special events, from Brontë‑inspired dining trains and Santa Steam Specials to diesel‑only “dark‑train” evenings for the more adventurous. In October, patrons can enjoy one of the North’s finest Beer & Music Festivals, celebrating local culture and the rail’s heritage. For those looking to celebrate in a uniquely historic setting, the railway offers a selection of private carriage hire options. From classic Pullman cars to the elegant Jubilee Bar, each carriage provides a private, themed experience that the railway’s dedicated team will tailor to meet festive and corporate needs.
