•  HARRIET

I love Goathland!  It is beautiful there, its the one place I don't feel like a sheep.  It has astonishing scenery that surrounds its land.   It is a lovely open area, no fences,  barricades or walls to block other land off.   It is special to me because I feel free, there are free-range sheep about.  There are so friendly and mindful  Goathland is nowhere near as busy as places like York and Leeds. 

Heartbeat was film there.  They leave the police cars from the 1960's for the people to get a photo with,, to donate money or just to have a good look at it. 

There are many shops in Goathland, my favourite shop was on that had a lot of things from the 1950's ot the 1970's.   I found a police hat in the shop.  All the shops in Goathland are very unique and special.  From Goathland you can see lots of wild animals who enjoy being free. 

Goathland has a train station!  The train runs from Goathland to Pickering to Grosmont.  It was Adens field in Heartbeat, and it was named Hogsmead Station in Harry Potter.   It also has a wonderful waterfall called "Mallyan Spout which is a stunning place. 

There are not many houses in Goathland as wildlife runs it.  It is not busy but quiet to a certain standard.  We are so lucky to have such a remarkable place in North Yorkshire. 

There is a lovely smell of heather on the Moors.Cars in this area are going about slowly as they have sheep, humans and other natural beauty to watch out for. 

The wildlife in Goathland is incredibly popular.  There are many animals - Adders, the common Pheasants, foxes, hares, owls, some rare birds and Grouse.  They run this place crazy!

Goathland might not seem that far away to you but it depends where you live.  For people in North Yorkshire it's not to far but if you live anywhere else then it can be quiet far. 

There are some lovely places to stay in Goathland like the Beacon Guest House and Eighteen97 B&B Rooms.  One of my favourite is The Fairhaven County Guest House. Sheep love to roam around there. 

Historically known as Godelandia the area known as Goathland was gifted to Osmud the Priest and the brethren of the hermitage by King Henry 1.  The King granted this land in memory of the soul of his mother Queen Matilda as recorded in the Charter of 1109, which is held at Whitby Abbey.  

Goathland or Good Land or even Goda's Land is very popular tourist village situated in the North Yorkshire Moors.  It is 40 miles from York and just 9 miles away from Whitby.  Which makes wonderful moorland village, easy to get to and worth it.   You couldn't make this place any better.  So what are you waiting for, spread the word and enjoy yourself.  

YOU'LL LOVE IT!

"...I went to Wharfedale Bolton Abbey every night I sat up and watched the stars my favourite consellation os Cygnus the swan..."
