Rudyard
Lake Steam
Railway
|
|
|
|
|
The
Rudyard Lake Steam Railway is just North of Leek in
Staffordshire. The railway is narrow gauge and uses miniature
trains to provide a 3 mile return trip along
the side of
Rudyard Lake.
The 200 year old lake gave Rudyard Kipling
his
name. It has a long history of leisure attractions being actively
developed and promoted by the old North Staffordshire Railway in
the early 1900's to offer days out to the workers of Stoke and
the Potteries. The lake is a family centre for picnics, sailing,
boating,
walking and fishing as well as riding the train.
