Commondale station

A single platform on the moor edge, the first stop in the valley and a good start for moorland walks to Castleton.

Commondale is the first station in the Esk Valley after the line climbs over the moor from Kildale. It is a single platform beside the village, with the Cleveland Inn a few minutes' walk away and open moorland tracks climbing north and south. Trains stop on request: tell the conductor when you board, and give a clear signal to the driver from the platform when you want to be picked up.

From the platform

Walk east on tracks over Commondale Moor to Castleton Moor station, about three miles, and ride back one stop.
The Esk Valley Walk passes close by on its loop round the head of the valley.

Facilities change. Check National Rail or Northern for current details before you travel.
