9. A trip out to the village of Goathland
St Mary's Church Goathland built in 1896. It is pleasant but busy village in the summer because its tourist attraction status has been much enhanced by the (Yorkshire Television)/ITV's TV '1960's' series "Heartbeat". However, it is good starting point for several really nice walks in the surrounding country side. (see page 17-18)
For Yorkshire TV's drama series "Heartbeat" Goathland becomes 1960's "Aidensfield".
The splendidly restored Goathland Station is an important stop on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (see page 20).
A bit of shunting on view for one of the LNER gala days.
