2 Mile Circular Walk

Credit to GPS Routes

The walk starts from the parking area in the pretty village of Goathland and heads west along a country lane for about half a mile. You then follow a footpath north to the waterfall. You continue through a peaceful wooded valley along West Beck to Beck Hole on the Murk Esk River. The route then returns to Goathland along the track bed of the original Whitby-to-Pickering railway line. The walk has some lovely waterside sections and splendid views of the surrounding North York Moors to enjoy.

If you enjoyed this walk, then you could head to the nearby Falling Foss Waterfall for more lovely woodland trails. It's another highlight of the area with a 30ft high waterfall and a delightful old tea room.

You could also continue along the rail trackbed to Grosmont on the Grosmont to Goathland Rail Trail. The GPX trace on this route is for use as a guide only; its accuracy may change depending on the scale of the map you are using. Use in combination with judgement and a paper map.
