Millers Dale

It is a popular beauty spot in the Peak District of England, much of the area being preserved as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Millers Dale station was at the junction where passengers for Buxton joined or left the trains between London and Manchester.

[2][3] Northwards from Millers Dale the line entered the two Chee Tor tunnels (401 and 94 yards), separated by a 50-foot-high (15 m) bridge over the River Wye, then along a ledge cut into the rock face, before entering Rusher Cutting tunnel (121 yards), crossing the Wye again by another viaduct.

The line here was immensely difficult and expensive to construct, skirting, as it did, the base of the 300-foot (91 m) high ciff of Chee Tor.
