Monsal Dale railway station served the villages of Upperdale and Cressbrook in Derbyshire, England.
Cut through solid limestone, they were both complex tunnels on a gradient of 1 in 100 and curved to allow the line to conform to the terrain.
It was written: There is not in the whole range of Peak scenery such a lovely landscape in so small a space as can be viewed from the platform of this singular and romantically situated station.
[1]The station closed to regular passenger traffic in 1959[2] but continued to be used by occasional ramblers' specials and excursions until April 1961; trains continued to pass through the station until 1968 when the line was closed.
[9] This section of line forms part of the Monsal Trail, an 8.5-mile (13.7 km)-long shared-use path.
