The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is a 5-mile (8 km) long branch line that served mills and villages in the Worth Valley and is now a heritage railway line in West Yorkshire, England. It runs from Keighley to Oxenhope. It connects to the national rail network line at Keighley railway station.
It is currently one of only two heritage railways that operates a whole branch line in its original form (the other being the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway at Wirksworth, Derbyshire). It is one of the few heritage railways to provide real ale on board some of its services.

Famous quotes containing the words worth, valley and/or railway:
“There is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
—Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932)
“The wide wonder of Broadway is disconsolate in the daytime; but gaudily glorious at night, with a milling crowd filling sidewalk and roadway, silent, going up, going down, between upstanding banks of brilliant lights, each building braided and embossed with glowing, many-coloured bulbs of man-rayed luminance. A glowing valley of the shadow of life. The strolling crowd went slowly by through the kinematically divine thoroughfare of New York.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
