Towns and Pubs on the Calder Valley Railway Real Ale Trail

Listed are Towns and Pubs on the trail which are at or near each station on the Trail. For most stops on the line there are a number of alternatives. It is not exhaustive, we may have missed some, and it will be added to or amended over time. Please use the contact form or email us if you have any comments, suggestions etc.

Click on the MAP button, or on the postcode link, for a google map from the station to the pub you are interested in. Note the 'traffic light' MAP buttons. Green means less than 5 minute, Yellow 5 to 10 minutes and Red means the pub is more than 10 minutes walk away from the station (according to Google Maps walking distance). Distances between each pub? - we'll work on that!

Use the train times drop down to check when the next few trains are from your current station to any other station on the trail. That way you can decide if you have time for another pint, or just a half!

Opening times are best available information - let us know if you have more up to date info!
