Goathland To Grosmont, Sunday 14th April 2024.

 A trip up to North Yorkshire today to complete a new walk from Goathland up to Grosmont and back in a loop, saw us having a cracking time.

The walk takes in some lovely scenery and includes two waterfalls, Mallyan Spout and Thomasson Foss, the latter we didn't visit and follows part of the old train line between Beck Hole and Whitby.

You can still catch a train running between Pickering and Whitby, ran by the North Yorkshire Moors railway, a heritage line ran by enthusiasts.

During our walk we managed to see some nice birds also, which included 2 Dippers, a pair of Grey Wagtail, but the best of the bunch was a gorgeous male Pied Flycatcher near Beck Hole.

Some nice insects seen included my first Speckled Wood of the year near Grosmont.

There were some lovely Wildflowers on the walk also which included Toothwort, Green Alkanet, Ramsons, Wood forget me Not and Greater Celandine to name but a few.

We took loads of photos as could be expected and the following are my favourites from our day.
