Churnet Valley Railway The Churnet Valley Railway’s rural standard gauge line runs through the Staffordshire countryside – a stunning landscape dotted with woodland, bridges and tunnels once referred to as Little Switzerland. This classic railway journey commences at Kingsley & Froghall station (11 miles from Leek Club Site) where you'll find the Signals Tearoom, Peg Legs sweet emporium and Signals Souvenir Shop.
