denlin Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Goathland is the most amazing place, they have sheep grazing on the village green and you should make sure you go and see the waterfall, ask a local if you ca't find the path, steepish drop down to it. Harry Potter was also filmed at the railway station. They sometimes have themed journeys on the train such as 1940s weekend or back to the 1960s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yeah ... Goatland is the birthplace of Nick Berry and also where they still to this day manufacture Ford Angla Police cars. As you can see from the pic, this car's just managed to rescue a big tub of paint from the car park by towing it backward with a piece of string tied to the front bumper. When Nick's not chasing goat rustlers, he has a little workshop where he knocks out hand made bits of tat from truncheons and the like and sells them to gullible tourists from his shop on the main (only) street. Fortunately, it was raining when I went there, so didn't have to stay very long. I'd also just like to say, here and now ... if I ever hear the Heartbeat song again, I'm going to hunt down Nick Berry and run him over with his own Ford Anglia! (the last bit was a joke before the PC lot have a go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiggs Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Nip down to Ravenscar and have some tea at Raven Hall Hotel. It's an old favourite in my family! A walk along the beach at Stoop Beck or along the old train line? Yep..and there's a lovely walk. Along the coast from RHB to Ravenscar past Boggle Hole, see the old Alum works, than walk back along the old railway line to RHB For a change from the seaside, try a drive through Broxa forest and stop by Hackness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give that one a miss if anyone's reading. Ravenscar is quite interesting from a historical point of view ... it was going to be built as a town to compete with Scarborough. Unfortunately, due to the demise of the railway, the plans were scrapped after they'd only built a few houses. Fortunately, one of these houses was the tea room, which does jolly nice ice-cream (even when it's raining). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I've just got back from a weekend up there. Stayed in a B&B at Goathland and did all the usual places mentioned above. The reason I resurrected this thread though was purely for this pie and mash shop, which had a bottle of Hendo's relish on every table! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly went in there whilst half-heartedly looking (in vain, as it transpired) for a Citroen garage and a tow hook. Bet mel's got something to do with the Hendo's!
