‘Home of the Badger’ – Brockholes lies in the middle of the Holme valley. The station is accessible from Ridings Fields. The river Holme flows through the village on its way to the Humber, passing close to the road at points, such as the old hump-backed bridge at Smithy Place. Climbing Brockholes Lane we come to the village hall, formerly the village day school. The hall is now administered by the Brockholes Village Trust. Beyond the village hall, a further short climb leads to the lovely church of St George, built-in 1863, from where there is a pleasant view of the village centre. Enjoy a drink at The Rock Inn or The Travellers Rest both on New Mill Road.

Brockholes Green Spaces
and Station Adopters
Brockholes Station was adopted in late 2024 by Brockholes Green Spaces and Station Adopters, a newly established Bio-diversity group that aims to raise the profile of the green spaces in the Brockholes community, preserving, improving, and protecting the habitat for nature and biodiversity; and for people to enjoy them. They are open to all with similar aims, and wishing to do something fun.
Look out for the photographic panoramas on the platforms by a local photographer, the artwork by local school children, and the Moors For The Future planters which showcase the very special moorland plants and wildlife found in the area. The group continues to develop ideas to celebrate their village, its railway, and the local biodiversity.
