Thanks to the magnificent collaboration of a number of local volunteers, Morley has its own miniature locomotive in the form of ‘Churwell Woodland Railway’. As an effort to maintain and restore Clark Springs and Jappa & Daffil Woods for the use of the public, an inspired team of volunteers set about creating the track that runs through the heart of the woods. What better way to enjoy the local scenery of Leeds than on the back of a miniature train? Follow the postcode LS277UQ to arrive at the station and make sure to check the booking procedures on the Churwell Woodland Railway website!
