New Mills Newtown railway station serves the Newtown area of New Mills (New Mills has a second station: New Mills Central) and is 14 miles south-east of Manchester on the Buxton line. New Mills can be used as an interchange point for those who want a walk: it’s a 15 mins walk across the Goyt valley to the station of New Mills Central (on the Hope Valley line).
The station has a booking office (limited staffing hours), with tickets machines and waiting shelters on the platforms. There is step-free access to the platforms, which are also connected by a footbridge. It is covered by our colleagues at the High Peak and Hope Valley Community Rail Partnership.
New Mills sits on the edge of the Peak District and is a place at which two rivers, two railway lines, a canal and various road meet and create a town on multiple levels. The town centre is a designated Conservation Area and has various events through the year, the largest being the New Mills Festival in September.
There is a good community website which provides information about days out and lovely walks, as well as local attractions including Torr Vale Mill and High Lea Hall Heritage Centre.
