Goathland
This picturesque moorland village, 9 miles from Whitby, has attracted visitors since the 19th century, drawn by the natural spectacle of the Mallyan Spout, a 70-foot-high waterfall. Goathland saw an increase in visitor interest after its appearance as 'Aidensfield' in the television series Heartbeat and its role as Hogsmeade Station in the Harry Potter films.
There are several walking routes here, some of which pass by the Mallyan Spout, taking you along West Beck and through woodland. You can enjoy a 3-mile circular loop to the nearby village of Beck Hole, home to Yorkshire’s smallest pub, before returning along the old ‘Rail Trail.’ The vintage steam train spans 24 miles from Pickering to Whitby and Goathland is one of 6 stations along this spectacular route. The village has a pub, tea rooms and some interesting shops.
Grosmont
Grosmont is a peaceful village nestled in the Esk Valley, known for the discovery of ironstone in 1836, when George Stephenson's original railway from Whitby to Pickering was being built. Although the ironstone industry is now a thing of the past, the railway is still a prominent part of the village. As well as heritage services on the Steam Railway, there's an adjoining platform for the Esk Valley Railway which runs from Middlesbrough to Whitby, making Grosmont an easily accessible destination.
