Kirklees Light Railway
π Huddersfield, North West
15-inch narrow gauge heritage railway at Whistlestop Valley offering scenic rides to Shelley Station, plus a miniature railway, outdoor playgrounds, jumping pillow, crazy golf, pedal cars, and covered indoor spaces.
Perfect for kids, adults and four legged friends. Recommendations - bring some additional snacks. Pizza place is popular so would recommend buying it early Free face painting, bubble magician and amusements was a nice touch. 1 of the stalls you did have to pay extra for. It does get busier throughout the day but was well organised. Overall plenty to do to tire out those little legs. Will definitely come back for another themed event.
π Family Action Verdict
A strong multi-generational day out for families with children of all ages. Train-obsessed toddlers get two railway experiences; older children and adults get the scenic countryside journey and the long tunnel. Covered facilities mean rain does not derail the day. Dogs are welcome throughout.

βWell worth a visit for children and adults. There is a nice cafe and shop. The trains are great and the journey through the countryside is picturesque. I think the tunnel is the longest on a narrow gauge railway.β
