This morning we travel to Ashbourne, a small and vibrant town surrounded by beautiful Peak District countryside. It boasts numerous independent shops, historic buildings, and delightful cafes and restaurants. After lunch, we take a nostalgic return steam train ride on the Churnet Valley Railway from Froghall Station. Re-live the classic days of rail travel on this rural line through beautiful countryside, with riverside views and the Caldon Canal, known as Staffordshire's ‘Little Switzerland’. Stop at Cheddleton Station, home to a small museum displaying a wealth of railway memorabilia. We then return home by coach.
