Middlewood railway station serves the villages of High Lane and Middlewood, and is a stop on the Buxton line. The station is unstaffed and has no vehicular access, the nearest road being 270m away on foot (Middlewood Road). There is a bicycle rack. Interestingly, platform 1 is in High Lane while platform 2 is in Poynton.
The station is cared for by the Friends of Middlewood Group, who endeavour to keep it tidy and welcoming.
While a popular commuter station, Middlewood is also an attractive place for walking enthusiasts as there is easy access to the Middlewood Way and many more glorious walks in the surrounding countryside. Don’t miss the Anson Engine Museum (open daily) too, and there are relaxing walks along the Macclesfield Canal. Davenport Golf Course is also nearby.
