Surrounded by high moors and interlaced with cascading streams and waterfalls, Heartbeat Country is a walker’s paradise. You will experience the Mallyan Spout Waterfall, which at over 60 feet, is the tallest waterfall on the North York Moors. There is also evidence of the Roman army on Wheeldale Moor, the location of one of the best preserved Roman roads in England.

Surrounded by an abundance of crosses, stones and ancient monuments Goathland makes for one of the most intriguing walking locations within the National Park. Situated on the popular North York Moors railway line with its magnificent steam engines Goathland station was also used by Warner Brothers as the setting for Hogsmeade Station in Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone.

For this popular event we base ourselves at the Inn on the Moor, a friendly family run hotel and a real hidden gem set in the midst of some of the finest walking on the North York Moors. This is one of Walk Yorkshire’s favourite locations.

Useful Information

These are guided events and therefore suitable for those with limited walking and navigational experience, leave that to us just enjoy

Fitness – although the terrain can be demanding in places there are no big ascents and all routes are on established trails, however these trails can get boggy and harder during adverse weather conditions or the time of year, you expend more energy during the colder winter months than in finer summer conditions, so consider your current walking fitness. For the shorter events you may well be walking for about 4-5 hours and the longer events up to 8 hours duration.

Your guides are fully insured, qualified mountain leaders

All guides are current outdoor first aid trained

All our guides have many years’ experience in the outdoors and most come from an educational background and encountered many different situations and dealt with individuals of mixed ability and experience.

Although we make every effort to make these events as safe and injury free as possible, and carry out our own rigorous risk assessments of the terrain covered, accidents inevitably can happen and therefore we need to bring to your attention that by attending these events you are aware of and accept the risks associated with low level hill walking.

If there are less than 8 people booked onto this walking event Walk Yorkshire reserves the right to host only one walk per day, this will be decided at the time and the route selection will be suitable for all participants.
