Glossop railway station is the terminus on the Glossop line, 15 miles east of Manchester, serving the town of Glossop on the edge of the Peak District. The station building is Grade-II listed and there is a Co-op supermarket adjacent to the car park.
This station is one of the busiest in Derbyshire and the handsome market town attracts lots of visitors for its architecture, charm and proximity to many glorious Peak District walks and trails, including Black Hill, Bleaklow and Kinder Scout.
In the town centre – five minutes walk from the station – there are many independent shops and business with a Market Hall (open Thursday-Saturday) as well as an outdoor market. Walking a little further (15 minutes) takes day trippers to Old Glossop, where a heritage trail takes in many of the historic buildings, some dating back to the 12th century.
Manor Park, the former grounds of Lord Howard of Glossop, lies at the heart of Old Glossop and is a great place for the family. The grounds contain bowling greens, tennis courts, play areas, formal gardens. During the warmer months, a café and miniature railway operate.
Information about visiting Glossop is available on the Welcome to Glossop website. The station is covered by our colleagues at the High Peak and Hope Valley Community Rail Partnership.
