Overview

This walk starts from the National Park car park at  Goathland. The walk goes over the moors, where there are fine views, to Grosmont, where we will stop for lunch.  There may be opportunities to see the steam trains on the North York Moors Railway at Grosmont. After lunch the walk returns to Goathland via the Rail Trail, which winds through woods and fields and alongside streams. There are some hills to climb, but the walk will be conducted at a leisurely pace.
