Hope Valley Line
Sheffield – Manchester Piccadilly via Stockport
As you journey through Hope, Edale and Cowburn Tunnel you’ll pass rugged hillsides and beautiful valleys. Dramatic cliff edges attract rock-climbers and hand-gliders between Bamford, Hathersage and Grindleford.
Get your walking boots ready and explore the Peak District National Park, the first national park in Britain. The Hope Valley Line provides easy access to the stunning area perfect for outdoor adventures.
Follow in the footsteps of The Railway Children as you explore 10 locations from the classic book in two new trails starting from Strines Railway Station. Developed by South East Manchester Community Rail Partnership and volunteers from Friends of Strines Station the trails offer fantastic views and take in sections of the Peak Forest Canal. Download the trails here or pick up a leaflet from Strines Station.
The Manchester to Strines section of the journey is supported by South East Manchester Community Rail Partnership and from News Mills Central to Sheffield 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.
