Local Attractions
The North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway runs through the village and Goathland Station (Hogwarts Station as seen in the first Harry Potter movie) is a short walk from the hotel. Rail enthusiasts can also travel to the nearby city of York and the National Railway Museum.
Goathland is also an ideal base from which to explore the North Yorkshire Coast, the historic fishing villages of Robin Hood's Bay and Staithes, the traditional resorts of Whitby and Scarborough and the many coastal footpaths. Also enjoy unravelling the history of Yorkshire starting with the nearby Roman Road and moving on from ancient abbeys and churches to stately homes such as Castle Howard.
Heartbeat fans will also know the village as Aidensfield and they can visit the familiar Scripps Garage, The Aidensfield Arms as well as the Post Office.
For those who enjoy walking, Goathland can offer walks among the heather covered moors, both short or long, the scenery is both relaxing and breathtaking.
