[@jameshaire6105]

Thank you, Andrew! Nice video!

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers James!

[@nottinghamman4839]

Class 37 up the hill, nice. Great video thanks 👍

[@diwarburton5369]

Fantastic. I am booked into a campsite at Pickering next year so I shall walk the Rail Trail.

[@michaelrender1584]

Great 👍video 👏Great place to visit

[@baxtermarrison5361]

I grew up in that neck of the woods and recall the early days of the NYMR. The walk up from Grosmont to Goathland was a regular treat as a child, and when I was (almost) old enough, my father bought me my first pint in that pub in Beck Hole. The two doors, on one side the pub, on the other the village shop, the counter running from the shop side into the pub side. My father was a bit of a history buff so I was well versed in the history of the railway and the local industry it served. Never quite the same after Heartbeat spoilt Goathland, the then village shop opposite the garage, doing a cracking line in ice cream, but that and Harry Potter bring in much needed funds to both the railway and the local shops. Fond childhood memories of that line and that area.

[@keefykinsall]

another great video Andrew

[@Jeffybonbon]

I want my ashes to be spread at the station Have lots of very happy memories there great video

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Fantastic video my friend

[@northernblue1093]

Another interesting and very well made production.

[@macjim]

I used to stay in a B&B in Goathland just opposite the station, next to the road bridge... until it changed hands and became a railway-themed B&B, just before Heartbeat started to become popular bringing in the crowds of tourists. Then moved to staying in Pickering thereafter...

[@hosscartwright5495]

Fantastic 👍. Thank you.

[@tomgirldouble3249]

Never been on this railway & that looks a nice walk, despite no steam the interior of the carriage was lush. 🥰

[@keithdonnellan5564]

Great Stuff Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@andyhay1262]

Excellent, thank you!

[@christelbraune4530]

Das war wieder großartig. Tolle Eindrücke, hat mir gut gefallen Andrew. Danke für das schöne Video 👍❤ Aber..........ich kannte es schon!!

[@iangill8984]

Goathland Station. Went there one afternoon a few years after Harry Potter had filmed there. A steam train was about to depart so people had congregated on the bridge to take pictures, the penny hadn't dropped that steam locomotives through out an awful when they set off. Made chuckle when they walked past spluttering away.

[@emilyjesse6749]

Amazing!!!

[@deewaters8994]

Great as usual, brought back so many memories.

[@andrewsgarage796]

Thank you Sir very Nice Andrew

[@celtickhan6136]

We never get tired of this amazing walk, so much so we are coming back in May so much beautiful scenery and history. Thank you for making this video 🐱

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers! And me too - probably my favourite! I hope you enjoyed your visit 👍🏼

[@sharynkhan1104]

We have walked this route lots of times, but we never get tired of it. Such a beautiful place. Can't wait to return.

[@will_levitt926]

I love Goathland and Grosmont, they are stunning villages

[@emilyjesse6749]

The music and everything was just so well done! Really enjoyed the video!

[@sewahsewah]

Top draw as usual. Well done Andrew 👍

[@leey7h]

some terrific filming, all sorts of aspects, old railway, scenery, info , very interesting

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Lee!

[@neildare2852]

Loved this video! My wife and I spent a week recently, in the Esk Valley cottages. I remember you taking the drone video, as I watched from the front garden!! Best holiday we've had for a while. We left our white 4x4 in the car park, (it's visible in the video) and walked everywhere or went on the train! We did the same walk as you, but in reverse!! I can appreciate why Stephenson built the incline! Great videos, keep them coming.👍

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks, I appreciate that! Those cottages are in a great spot. I’d like to get one myself for a few days!

[@dougiebarber8349]

Another superb and fascinating video Andrew,keep them coming.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Dougie 👍🏼

[@TVHeartbeat]

Loved this! I’ll be doing this walk when I’m in Goathland for the Heartbeat Vehicle Rally!

[@c1p1moore]

Andrew I just love watching your vlogs they are so natural & informative & relaxed encouraging me to discover your wonderful land 👍Tip Top Andrew don't stop your excellent work 👏

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Christopher! 👍

[@karloakley6135]

Good morning great video . We did this very walk yesterday thanks to you posting .we where lucky enough to get a steam train back .thanks for your great videos .

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Karl!

[@ashdrive]

These are wonderful videos you're producing. Channels like yours show what a treasure this country has as to its history...

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Ken!

[@chrisbolton5461]

Another really interesting piece of work. Your love of the area shines through.

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Another excellent video reminding me of my visit there in August this year. 🚂🚃🚃🚃

[@chrisburton4694]

My Grandma lived near Pickering at a place called Elron Lodge, when I stayed as a kid in the summers you’d hear the railway and see the steam.

[@justacrocodile9486]

Lovely seeing the trail winding along through woods and the narrow wooden bridges over the beck, so delightfully tranquil. The sight of the steam train as it made its stately progress down the line, just so purely English and the whole video a joy to watch. Thanks for your filming and the interesting narration.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

Goathland has one the very few volunteer fire brigades. Beck Hole Ironworks were unlucky in having one of its blast furnaces crack open. Esk Valley village didn't get an all weather road up until the 1960s.

[@atlantaman]

Delightful and most useful as I have been planning to do this walk during the steam gala later this month. Thanks. 👍

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

Absolutely brilliant! Done a really good job of that. 👌👌

[@linedwell]

That was fascinating. Looks like a nice day out... Also.. That drone work is just cherry on top. Nice.

[@steverock4329]

Fantastic Andrew! 👍👌🏻

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Steve!

[@stephenbarlow685]

Hi Andrew I have followed your videos for about 6 months and I must say they are great keep them coming. We are in New Zealand and looking forward to coming to the UK when the boarders open again Cheers Steve.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Stephen! It’s great to see how far the videos are reaching! 👍🏼

[@katthompson3852]

Looking forward to being able to do this again. Well worth the trip from New Zealand. Really enjoying the vids. Thank you Andrew.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Kat! 🙂

[@clivecfb]

Very enjoyable video. I just love the area and always enjoy visiting the steam railway.

[@WS-1]

Excellent work on one of the best attractions in this area - thanks for posting .

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers William!

[@sallysolak10]

Really enjoyed this video thank you. I live in Malton so not far away but out beautiful countryside always takes my breath away and the walk was parts I haven't seen.

[@crazyelephantlady]

It's a lovely walk we've done lots of times, like you, we sometimes get the train back 🚂 Great video Thanks

[@chrismccartney8668]

So quiet peaceful and superb scenery my disused view are less pretty London Docklands..

[@chodbin1]

Glad to see you back with another excellent video

[@theheartofzany1]

Great video and very informative too x

[@rugosetexture2716]

All of your videos are great, but this one is the best yet. Thank you!

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thank you!

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Very enjoyable video. One of our own favourite walks. 👏👏👍😀 As for the heritage diesel, it’s an iconic powerhorse, so don’t be disappointed. 😀

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Andrew. Haha Yes! I was more disappointed that it didn't match what I'd said in the morning about getting a steam train back to be honest. I quite like the Class 37's.

[@theodenking4611]

Another good video, great scenes and very informative. Personally enjoy visiting these areas as often as I can. Thanks for posting and can’t wait for the next one

[@whitemoor66]

Another great video. Love Goathland and the NYMR but I have never walked the rail trail. Would have loved to hear your class 37 return train working hard up the hill into Goathland.

[@trainingday391]

This is also my favourite rail trail. Disappointingly, when I visited in June 2023 they wouldn't sell me a single ticket from Grosmont to Goathland. They even admitted this was 'a popular thing' to get the train out and walk back. I'm visiting again tomorrow for the September annual steam gala - I'll check to see if they've reconsidered and post an update here either way...

[@BoydXplorer]

Thanks for sharing an excellent video. Interesting and informative to watch. Have a nice day bro!

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks!

[@carlharris2808]

Yet another great video Andrew this & the Scarborough videos are top drawer.Thank you for your hard work.

We are so lucky Joyce you are 100% correct.

[@6666steved]

The Birch Hall Inn with the sweet shop between the two bars - as you say, best pub in the world.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

🍻

[@andysinclair1161]

Another great video! Love Goathland (big Heartbeat fan) & had a few pints in the pub there. Also been on the NYMR a couple of times - superb line....

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Andy! Yes, they’re all decent pubs around there to be fair. 🍻

[@rontanser9369]

Thank you very much that was a wonderful trip down memory lane when I was young I lived in Yorkshire and have many visits BECK HOLE , And yes that is a lovely little pub

[@billhawksworth7637]

A great walk, local history, local legend's a train journey bloody good drone work what's not to like Once again top notch young man.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks, as always, Bill! 👍

[@johnwillis187]

Excellent vid as ever. Def a walk I shall be doing. And I'll add my voice to the others in saying I think you lucked out getting the Class 37 😀

[@bryan3550]

Eeee, that were grand, lad! Not taking the piss, Andrew, but you pull at my heartstrings... I'm an Oz, born and raised but I share your heritage and physically we could be cousins! Splendid footage and editing, as ever. My wife and I can't wait to copy this walk. May Beeching turn in his grave. 😘

[@peteressextrucker8014]

Another great film ! Beautifully shot i definitely need to visit some time looks an amazing area , thank you for all the information.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Peter!

[@746laurie]

This brings back many memories of a few days I spent in the area with my campervan in 2003. I walked the rail trail too! BTW the class 37 diesel locomotive that hauled your train is regarded as a "classic" by rail enthusiasts since it's 50+ years old so not much younger than the 1950s built steam locomotives used on the NYMR.

[@missdarby1]

Oh i just love your vids, really informative of all your vids. cheers

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers James! 👍🏼

[@chrisbroadley1928]

Another fantastic video Andrew as always! We love the North Yorkshire area and pretty much visit the areas you’ve been in this video every year but due to mobility issues we’re not able to do the walking you do so it’s fantastic to see some new areas for us and learn yet more of the history of the places we love. Still waiting for that Pickering one though lol. Keep up the hard work and look forward to your next one with anticipation. Many thanks again for a fab video.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks again Chris. I’ll definitely be doing one or two in Pickering next year. 👍🏼

[@philsmodelrailway232]

Excellent video there Andrew I’m planning a trip to the moors in May and have always wanted to walk the root and thanks to you it as helped me with my research into the trip. You shouldn’t be disheartened about not having a steam train at the end I’d give anything to have a class 37 haul my train

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! I’ve always liked the Class 37’s, I was just looking forward to filming a steam loco when I was back in Goathland. I made up for it with my footplate video though! 😄

[@martinwright7972]

Really enjoy your videos Andrew, I used to visit Whitby so much in the 1980's and 1990's and as I now live in Canada I love the reminders of the many locations I used to take my kids while we used to stay in the area. Very happy days that I miss so much so thank you and please keep up the good work in reminding me of all my 'happy places'.

[@richardgitz2264]

Very nice presentation, nothing like that in or around Las Vegas, NV

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Richard. Bit warmer there than it is here right now though!

G'Day from Australia .Another great video Andrew.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Richard! 👍🏼

[@jetcat120]

Great Video and thanks for sharing it. Me and my wife often visit and stay in Goathland staying at Glendale house B&B. We have walked the Rail Trail as you did and got the train back. We love that area and thank you for explaining the history of it too. I knew a bit about it but your detailed dialogue makes it that bit better. I will be watching your other videos with interest. I recommend the Pullman Diner on the NYMR as a great experience too.

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks Philip. Yes, a Sunday roast on there is on my to-do list when I get a spare weekend!

[@ellerburn]

Another great video. Visited Goathland for the first time in September and looking forward to Grosmont as soon as it is warm enough to camp again. Glad that I don't have to travel miles to get to these lovely places.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Superb video, so thank you for that as we will be doing the same walk tomorrow but think we will park at Grosmont and get the train to Goathland, then walk back but not worry about time and train times, cheers Alan

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Cheers Alan!

[@wendyfisher6669]

Just stumbled on your channel Andrew, really enjoyed this video, the drone footage is amazing . Me and my wife love the area, there’s many fantastic walks, so far we’ve never been to Beck hole when the pubs open, we’ll make it one day. I only found out last November the you can purchase a return ticket from Pickering to Whitby for £45, ( you can collect from other stations) then it lasts for 12 months from the day of purchase, you can hop on and off as many time as you want, this year we’re hoping to walk Goatland to Whitby catching the train back. Thanks for a lovely video and I’ll work my way through the rest of you channel

[@NorthYorkshireWanderer]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂

To the left of the garage is the original goathland station, can still see the platform edge

[@Mortimer50145]

It's a good walk from Goathland to Grosmont. I've done it a couple of times, in pre-Heartbeat days when it was possible to park in Goathland without having to pay for the privilege. Interesting to see the remnants of the original railway route.

[@stillages1]

You can park at the other end up at Mallyan Spout for free

[@Mortimer50145]

@@stillages1 Last time I drove through Goathland a few weeks ago, there were cars parked on both sides of the road from the mini roundabout by the Mallyan Spout hotel half way to the bridge over the beck on the road to Egton Bridge.
