释义 | {{Use dmy dates|date=February 2017}}{{Use British English|date=February 2017}} Beeston Tor ({{gbmapping|SK105540}}) is a limestone cliff in Staffordshire. It overlooks the confluence of the River Hamps with the River Manifold, and is popular with climbers. There was a small station here, of the same name, opened by the narrow gauge (2' 6") Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway on 27 June 1904, whilst being entirely operated by the North Staffordshire Railway. The station had no siding – unlike most of the stations on the line – but there was a refreshment room. The line closed in 1934, and the route of the railway past the station is now designated the Manifold Way, an 8-mile walk- and cycle-path which runs from Waterhouses to Hulme End. {{coord|53.08312|-1.84470|type:landmark_region:GB_source:enwiki-osgb36(SK105540)|display=title}}{{England-rail-transport-stub}} 3 : Disused railway stations in Staffordshire|Cliffs of England|Landforms of Staffordshire |
