Goathland is a village situated in the North Yorkshire Moors north of Pickering, It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and its train station is a part of the North Yorkshire Moors steam railway line.

It is also famous as Aidensfield, the 1960's setting for the popular ITV police series Heartbeat. Fans will not be disappointed by a visit to fictional Aidensfield as many of the series landmarks are recognisable, including the stores, Garage / funeral directors, the public house and of course the railway station.

Goathland village sits 500 feet above sea level and has a history extending back to Viking times.

Goathland is a charming place to visit, especially if you arrive there by steam train, the sound of the steam train echoing through the beautiful countryside takes you back in time to a forgotten era.
