Just down the road from the Village Center of Goathland is the Goathland station. Goathland station is famues from Heartbeat Series and Harry Potter, and a part of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Goathland is the stop before the end of journey at Grosmont. NYMR are heading against Grosmont in very scenic landscapes from Pickering.
This train station is very special and beautiful, if you don't travel with steam train yourself you can be lucky, as we were, to see the train come into the station.

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway which is a very popular steam train ride runs through Goathland.
Most of the station and buildings are authentic.
There are up to 8 trains a day and passengers are able to get off at various stations along the route.
Goathland, because of the tv series is obviously a very popular choice.
Adult price tickets are £8.90
Also this station is used in the Harry Potter films but called Hogsmead!

The 70ft high Mallyan Spout waterfall can be reached by a footpath close to the Mallyan Spout Hotel which offers the opportunity for a pleasant walk.
Just follow the sign posted trail next to the Hotel.

Heartbeat is a popular British tv series, set in the 1960's in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.
In the programme the village is called Adensfield but in reality it is a village called Goathland where most of the outdoor scenes are filmed.
It centres around the local bobbies (policemen), the pub, and the village store.
People visiting the village when filming is going on, can even be asked to be 'extra's'.
The programme is so popular it has been sold to over 35 countries!
Parking can be a bit of a problem, with lots of tourists visiting. There is a car park (fee payable) opposite the shops.
Next to the Heartbeat museum is quite a large grassed area, and when we visited lots of cars were parked there.

One of the central characters in Heartbeat was a person called Greengrass.
He was a bit of a scruffy individual always had an eye for the main chance, but I suppose I could best describe him as a lovable rogue.
He unfortunately became quite ill and no longer in the series.
However these are the clothes he always wore, on display in the museum.

The Heartbeat Museum is situated next to the village church.
It is open daily: 10.30am - 5.30pm
Easter to October
Full Price - £4.00
Concessions - £2.50
There are special family and group rates.
Dogs who are well bahaved are welcome and are free.
When we visited there was some construction work underway and we were therefore only charged 1/2 price. All I can say is 'thank goodness'!!! I actually thought it was pretty much a waste of money. Other than a couple of rooms, which you can see in my photographs, that was it.
I am not sure what the building work being done entails but I hope that when it is finished there is more to see.

This motorcycle from the 1960's is also displayed in the museum.
I presume at some time it must have been used in the series.
