North Yorkshire Moors Railway – The village of Goathland
(in the national park) has a train station that’s been virtually unchanged
for 135 years: perfect to recreate “Hogsmeade Station,” end of
the line for the Hogwarts Express in Harry Potter movie. Best of all? You
can catch a steam train
that runs for 18 miles through the spectacular North York Moors, from Whitby to Pickering. |

Rievaulx Abbey – Pass through the lovely town of Helmsley on your way to the ruined choirs of Rievaulx Abbey. This airy Gothic 12th
century abbey was once one of the busiest monasteries around, hundreds
of people in residence, elaborate building projects, scholarly works and
sheep farming. The church ruins are impressive. Take a walk on
the gorgeous moors around the abbey. |

Castle, beaches, amusement arcades, and Scarborough Sea Life Centre marine aquarium. Go for donkey rides on the beach. In the summer, there are renenactments of medieval jousts
