Setting
The Scene for the Beck Hole / Goathland /
NY Moors Area.
If you like walking there is no better
place to discover the great outdoors,
with so many places of interest on the
doorstep. Whether you live in the
country, or city, enjoyment of the
outdoors is independant of age, income,
occupation or culture, good excercise and
very rewarding.
The outdoors re-energises, restores,
illuminates and clarifies what is
important to us all. There are many walks
of short medium and long duration - warning:
they can all end at the Birch Hall Inn!

These former farm
buildings have been converted to a very
high standard retaining many original
features and offering a peaceful retreat
from the rigours of everyday life. The
owners' home has been the setting for
many of the 'Hearbeat' episodes with the
cast and crew being familiar faces around
this tiny little village, just outside
Goathland. Stunning valleys and sweeping
hillside views can be enjoyed from the
idyllic location of these cottages. Some
of Yorkshire's finest walks and cycle
tracks are available from your doorstep,
with quaint little villages popping up to
greet you when you least expect it. It
would take a lifetime to explore all the
delights on offer in this wonderful part
of the world. With country shows and
fairs throughout the summer, you will be
spoilt for choice. A short drive through
stunning moorland to the historic port of
Whitby where Captain James Cook set sail
on his voyage of discovery, with a
colourful harbour and miles of sandy
beaches, making a perfect family day out.
The market towns of Kirbymoorside and
Helmsley just a 30 minute drive. Or board
the old steam train in Grosmont and take
the memorable journey through the Esk
Valley as it steams its way to the
historic market town of Pickering. Shops
and restaurants 2 miles, hill down to pub
600 yards.
Beck Hole is a small village
just one mile from Goathland, the setting
for YTV's 'Heartbeat'. The village is
protected from heavy traffic and coaches
by 1-in-4 (25%) hills with twisty bends
to catch out the unwary. The farm itself
is at the top of one of the hills and
easily accessible by road. This makes it
a quiet, peaceful area to relax and
unwind in. The North Yorkshire Moors
Railway runs just yards away from the
farm. For those worried about losing
sleep, the trains only run during the
daytime. The shops in Goathland are open
on Sundays, for minor supplies. Whitby is
just 6 miles away, with Sandsend being a
couple of miles further up the coast.
There are several good restaurants within
easy driving distance, ask us and we'll
point you in the right direction.
