Kildale
The footbridge at the western end of the station leads to St Cuthbert’s Church which has a marvellous stained-glass window, created by Goddard and Gibbs in 1992, depicting a steam train passing through Kildale.
Each year, in the village hall which is decked out in harvest-festival style, the people of Kildale hold a traditional Mell Supper to celebrate the bringing in of the last sheaf of corn. Each person is given a piece of “mell cake” (a kind of spicy teacake, locally baked) at this event.

Warren Moor Chimney
There is an easy walk of around 50 minutes each way to Warren Moor Chimney, a failed mining enterprise from the 1860s. It is one a few remaining chimneys still standing and it is being repaired to ensure its future. The walk is mainly on quiet roads and goes via Little Kildale.

To reach here, walk away from the station into the village, take the first turning to the left immediately before Glebe Cottage Café.
