Poppleton was the site of a 'railway nursery', which provided all the flowers for railway station gardens and restaurant car table ornaments. Part of the nursery still exists, with a short narrow gauge railway (made 'infamous' by the Narrow Gauge Railway Modelling Forum's photo quiz where anyone who doesn't know the answer just says "Poppleton Nurseries"!)

The Whitby to Scarborough railway (closed by Guess Who) has now been converted to a cycle track called the Cinder Track. We cycled from Ravenscar to Whitby and back, and it was a tough climb for the last mile back to the car. At least, it was for me; my wife has a Cheat Bike (an electric bike) so she found it easy. I can remember when I was little playing in the stream at Sandsend (just north of Whitby) and jumping off one of the foundation supports of the old viaduct into the water. The highlight of the Cinder Track is the magnificent view of Whitby Abbey from Larpool Viaduct, especially if there's a steam train from Pickering going under the viaduct on the Grosmont-Whitby line.
