Steam Train Travel with Cream Tea (Yorkshire)
Event Summary
Embark upon a vintage journey along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, from Pickering, through the stunning National Park landscape with its rolling hills and valleys. Whilst you relax on board the 1930s LNER wooden carriages, you'll pass quaint intermediate stations, including Goathland which is the scene of many large and small screen productions, before arriving at Grosmont.
After an opportunity to take photographs and stretch your legs, take your seats for the return leg of the journey where a cream tea will be served in a handy package consisting of a scone with jam & clotted cream, piece of cake and tea or coffee.
Your return journey, including a pause at Grosmont, will last approximately 3 hours 30 minutes.
