Middleton Top Engine House is the sole survivor of nine that once stood at the top of every incline along the Cromford and High Peak Railway. It is designated as an Ancient Monument, together with its Butterley beam engine which in the past hauled the cables up the track. Derbyshire County Council are now the custodians of this important piece of our railway heritage, visited by enthusiasts from all over the world. Situated at the top of Middleton Incline on the High Peak Trail is the restored Middleton Top Engine House, which was built in 1829. In the past it was used to haul wagons up the incline, but although those days have long since gone, it can still be seen in motion on the dates set out below. Originally timber was supplied daily to fire the boilers, now it is compressed air that does the job.

Can hire bikes here if you are fed up with walking. On the High Peak trail. Easy walking but you can go miles and miles and miles!
