[TR]Goathland Waterfalls Walk
« on: 21:17:16, 11/10/11 »
The walk is from the Walking Englishman  http://www.walkingenglishman.com/northyorkshire14.htm.  On website he describes it as a "jewel" of a walk.  And it really was.  It took us 5 hours to walk 6 miles.  Not because it was difficult, but because we spent so long exploring and seeing. Waterfalls, herons, becks and steam trains. Fantastic. 
The one piece of information which may be important to pass on is that Mike B's 'scary path' is now positively dangerous,and we couldn't find a safe route under/over the railway line near Thomason Foss.  Apart from that, what a wonderful, wonderful afternoon.  As always the whole story can be found on my blog, but herewith the shortened version.
 
We walked along West Beck first



Until we got to Mallyan Spout



From there to Beck Hole, and then between Eller Beck and the railway line.  Steam Engine.  Fantastic!



Looking across to Goathland moor



Before we got to Goathland where we watched steam engines huff and chuff into the station. 
Whistling and hissing.  Then through Goathland itself.  Lurrrrvvvly. This was an unusual sight though.......



Peter took loads of video of becks and waterfalls and trains.  When he's edited and made it into a little film, I'll post the link.  (He's a frustrated Steven Spielberg, and does put good little films together).
I can honestly recommend visiting this area to anyone.  We had a fantastic time.

Lovely pics.
 
I have to confess, the North York Moors is not a place I get to. I've no excuses really, I've family not too far away near the town of Yarm.
 
However, I've been to Goathland twice, once back in 1996, the second time, last October, but with Mrs Fleegle. She wanted to see the village of Aidensfield.....

Some real nice places, hidden jems, quaint villages O0 . I like it even though Dalby Forest has been spoilt by outdoors adventure centres.

I went to Goathland (the village) a couple of years ago and have often thought I'd to do walk around there so this looks a really good one to do.

Thanks for sharing  O0

I know there are some lovely places there. Something I really should resolve to get there more than I have done.      ;)

I love the NYM, used to live in Scarborough. I highly reccommend a visit there. It is not just the moors, there are some lovely dales between the high ground, the there is the coast and lovely towns like Helmsley and Pickering. Note to self - must get up there again soon
 
Malyan Spout has very little water coming down it compared to the times I have seen it.

Excellent Tracey - thanks for sharing  O0
 
I've looked at doing a few routes in the NYM areas before (mainly from the same website) but I haven't actually managed to do any yet....I wish I had now  ::) :)
