Goathland and Grosmont Rail Path

Route Description for Goathland and Grosmont Rail Path

Featuring mostly downhill terrain and lovely views across the picturesque Esk Valley, the Goathland and Grosmont Rail Path is a wonderful adventure that can be enjoyed by the entire family. As mentioned above, if you would rather not retrace your steps along the trail, you can always opt for a fun journey on the heritage steam engine that will allow you to experience the North York Moors Railway.

Setting out from the rail station in Goathland, you will make your way west through the village, turning to the northwest to cut across the open countryside and begin descending into the Eske Valley. Here, you will follow along the old railway line and take in the beautiful views across the valley, using the winding banks of Murk Esk as a guide to bring you into the trail’s end at Grosmont. Once there, you can explore the village before hopping aboard the train for the return leg.
