For steam railway fans, this really is a must-visit - but it also makes a great day out for anyone, with the beautiful scenery of the North Yorkshire moors to enjoy from the leisurely pace of steam travel.   Older children will be keen to visit because of its connection with Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Express!  Trains run from Pickering up to Grosmont and back, stopping at three stations along the way.  Some trains also now travel through to Whitby.  Stop off to see the picturesque village of Goathland (known to TV's "Heartbeat" fans as Aidensfield), where sheep graze right up to the roadside.  There are several pubs and tea-rooms to choose from if you wish to eat there.  Refreshments, including light meals, are available at Pickering, Goathland and Grosmont stations. 

Other notes:

  • There is good pushchair access onto platforms, but you will need to lift your pushchair onto the train, or ask for assistance from the guard. 
  • Baby-changing facilities are provided at Pickering Station, but not currently at Grosmont.
