Music & Ale Train trip along the Esk Valley, Friday evenings in the Summer.
A mobile party, featuring musicians and a real-ale bar, runs every Friday during the height of summer. Apart from the glorious scenery, refreshments and live music this is an ideal way to visit local hostelries at villages along the line for a meal and a relaxing few drinks before returning on the train.
A 10 mile linear walk following part of the Esk Valley Walk, a Regional Route long distance path in the North York Moors, the return leg being completed by train. The walk largely follows the route of the River Esk and the train line through the base of the river’s valley taking in the rolling hills, quiet lanes and agricultural fields that cover the region.
Something different to enjoy in November. There is also one in April but the November one is the biggest and most popular Goth event. Travelling by rail avoids the problems of car parking in Whitby. You can spend two hours driving round trying to find somewhere on busy Saturdays.
