For parents seeking a stress-free half-term escape, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (K&WVR) offers the perfect family day out.
Running daily from 15th to 23rd February, this much-loved heritage railway promises a magical journey through Yorkshire’s stunning countryside, with steam and diesel trains operating along the five-mile route between Keighley and Oxenhope.
But the experience is about far more than just the train ride. Families can explore six charming stations, each with its own unique character, as well as visit two railway museums at Ingrow, the iconic Oakworth Station—made famous by The Railway Children—and the railway’s engineering hub at Haworth.
At Keighley Station, visitors can step inside the recently launched Water Tower Visitor Centre, offering an interactive glimpse into railway history, while the Old Parcels Office café-bar serves up a fresh new menu for a mid-journey bite to eat.
“We know how tricky it can be to keep children entertained during half-term,” says Noel Hartley, Operating and Business Manager at K&WVR.
“That’s why we’re running trains daily, with plenty to see and do along the line. Our historic locomotives will be putting on a fantastic show, making this a memorable and great-value day out for all the family.”
