This page will develop into the story of the Henmore Dale Light Railway. It starts here with the map to the left. Click on it and a larger copy opens in a new window.

The Henmore Dale Light Railway runs from the standard gauge London and North Western station in Ashbourne through the town, crossing Dig Street, passing the Mill and Cockayne's Wood Yard to get to the original terminus at Park Road. From there the main line heads off up the valley of the river Henmore to get to the stone quarries of north Derbyshire.

This is of course fiction. The railway never existed although it could have done. We've plotted its route on the ordnance survey maps, we've been in every pub along the route and met more than one person who will swear blind they remember it being there! These photos were taken at our 2007 open day and over time I will add captions to these along with more photographs.
