Welcome to Yorkshire
Inspiration • March 17th, 2021
|This 3.6 mile route follows the old tramway line, built by George Stephenson, between Grosmont to Goathland. It's a great walk for children because you can do the return route on a steam train!
We enjoy starting this walk with a train ride from Goathland to Grosmont on the Pickering-Whitby line. You could even enjoy lunch in the village before you start! Whilst you can do this walk with a pushchair, be aware that the initial path from Grosmont is steep and narrow. That said, this difficulty is short-lived and the rest of the route is much easier.
The route back to Goathland is well-signposted. Initially, you follow the train line before meandering through woodland and across fields. You can take a quick detour here to the Beck Hole pub (which is next door to a sweet shop).
