Although the
Standard Gauge Alston Line from Haltwhistle to Alston passed through Kirkhaugh, there was no station here when normal British Rail passenger services operated. The line opened in 1852 and closed in 1976. Since 1983 a narrow-gauge railway has opened on part of the original trackbed. The railway, known as the
South Tynedale Railway, is a gauge line and runs from
Alston to
Slaggyford, through a station at Kirkhaugh, and includes a viaduct over the
River South Tyne. == Religious sites ==
