Run in collaboration with the local breweries from North Staffordshire, Staffordshire Moorlands and Cheshire, the Churnet Valley Railway real ale train embarks from Froghall, with opportunities to disembark at Consall and Cheddleton.
40+ varieties of ale
10.5 mile round trip
3 days of live music
3 pubs - Black Lion (Consall) & The Boat Inn (Cheddleton) and The Railway Inn (Froghall).
3 station bars
Before you even set out on the beer train, you can begin at the delightful Signals Tearoom at Froghall Station for freshly-brewed tea and coffee, a spot of lunch, and traditional cakes and sweet treats.
Once on board, relax in the vintage comfort of our 1950s-style carriages and peruse our extensive ale list while the stunning Churnet Valley landscape rolls by outside. With over 30 varieties from all over, you can sample your way up and down the country.
Cheddleton station is a throwback to the Victorian era, with an original Grade II-listed building. Hop off here to explore the locomotive sheds and stroll around the country village. Take a little wander down by the canal to see St Edwards Church and the Cheddleton Flint Mill, before returning to the station and our smaller bar for your next round of beers.
