Lealholm is a picturesque riverside village with charming stepping stones over the River Esk. Visit the Poet’s Cottage Shrub Nursery, located at the home of 19th-century dialect poet John Castillo. Don't miss the quirky Museum of Victorian Science in the hillside village of Glaisdale, where the stone-built packhorse Beggar’s Bridge offers a scenic viewpoint. This village is a favourite among hikers on the Coast to Coast National Trail, which passes through it. Littlebeck, also on the National Trail, is known for the intriguing Hermitage folly and the seasonal Falling Foss waterfall and tearoom.
Goathland, famous for its role as Aidensfield in the ITV drama Heartbeat, also served as Hogsmeade station in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
