Just as the name implies, the line follows the course of the picturesque Worth Valley.
My main reason for visiting - along with that of most other people I suspect - was to take a poke around Oakworth Station, which was immortalised in the 1970s film The Railway Children.
More recently the KWVR has featured in the BBC dramatisation The Great Train Robbery: A Copper's Tale.
It cost me £16 for a rover ticket, which would have allowed me to ride the trains and preserved double-decker bus between Oxenhope and Haworth all day if I'd been that way inclined.
Below are some photos of the day.
