The Foxfield Light Railway is one of the UK’s earliest heritage railways. The line was built in the 1890’s and unlike many lines which follow valleys, the Foxfield Railway maintains a 5½ mile round journey which boldly crosses open moorland, hills and woodland. This results in spectacular sounds and sights as the locomotives climb the steepest gradients as trains steam through Scenic North Staffordshire to terminate in the remote woodland halt of Dilhorne Park which offers one of the finest unspoilt views across the open moorlands where very little modern life can be seen.

At our main station at Caverswall Road we have a Station Buffet offering home cooked meals and snacks, a real ale award winning bar and a gift shop. Our museum display has many historic railway related items.

We operate on Sundays from Easter to the end of October . In addition trains run Bank Holiday Mondays and most Wednesdays during the local school holidays. December you will find us operating our Santa Specials.
