Hartington railway station opened in 1899 about two miles away from the village it served. Originally the line was the trackbed of the Buxton to Ashbourne railway line, built by the LNWR. The trail, known as the Tissington Trail was created after the railway closed in 1967. It runs along a 13 mile route from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay.
