Glossop Line
Manchester Piccadilly – Glossop via Ashton-under-Lyne
Travel only an hour outside of Manchester city centre and you will reach the north western gateway to the Peak District National Park. Glossop is an excellent base for exploring some of the area’s classic walking country. Get your walking boots at the ready and discover the rugged moorland and wide open spaces of the Dark Peak on foot.
Looking for something a little less adventurous? Browse the picturesque Old Glossop, dating back to the 12th century with pretty stone cottages and medieval market cross.
The Manchester to Broadbottom section of the route is supported by South East Manchester Community Rail Partnership and the Dinting to Glossop section is supported by High Peak and Hope Valley Community Rail Partnership. These partnerships are part of a growing grassroots movement across Britain, engaging communities and helping people get the most from their railways.
