North Yorkshire Moors steam railway

About:

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) offers visitors a nostalgic journey through time aboard lovingly restored steam locomotives, traversing the picturesque landscapes of the North York Moors National Park.

As passengers step aboard the vintage carriages, they are transported back to the golden age of steam travel, where the rhythmic chug of the locomotive and the billowing plumes of smoke evoke a sense of romance and adventure. Departing from the historic market town of Pickering, the railway winds its way through charming countryside, passing through quaint villages, lush valleys, and rolling moorland.

Along the route, passengers are treated to breathtaking views of the North York Moors, with its sweeping vistas, heather-clad hills, and ancient woodlands. Be sure to keep an eye out for wildlife, including deer, birds of prey, and maybe even a glimpse of the elusive wild ponies that roam the moors.

One highlight of the journey is the stop at Goathland station, which will be familiar to fans of the television series “Heartbeat” and the Harry Potter films, where the station was transformed into Hogsmeade. Here, passengers can explore the charming village, visit the station’s museum, or enjoy a stroll along the picturesque Goathland Railway Station.

Whether you’re a steam enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a unique way to experience the beauty of the North York Moors, a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway promises an unforgettable journey filled with nostalgia, scenery, and timeless charm.
