Esk Valley Railway including stops at Grosmont and Whitby “Leaving
Teesside, the train chugs out across the North York Moors … along the
leafy valley through Danby, Egton and Lealholm – surely the prettiest
village in Yorkshire – to Whitby's bracing sea air, fine Georgiana and
looming Gothic church. This is England's green and pleasant land, writ
large over 36miles ... it will make you sigh”
