Dinting is a district of Glossop in Derbyshire, England. It is notable for the massive structure of the Dinting Arches, part of the Glossop Line which goes as far as Manchester Piccadilly railway station, and also for Dinting Railway Museum, (Bahamas Locomotive Society) which closed in 1991. It is now based at Ingrow West near Keighley, West Yorkshire.
