Steamview cottage is nestled in the bottom of Esk Valley, right beside the tracks of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. During the day, the steam trains pass right in front of the house, and Steamview is one of the best possible places to get an unrestricted view of them. The North Yorkshire Moors Rail Trail,goes right past the cottage. The Rail Trail, is a very pleasant walk, which starts at Goathland station (2 miles away) and ends at Grosmont station (1 mile away),
Summer 2005 saw the start of a trial service right through from Whitby to Pickering (stopping at all stations between). So now, for the first time, you can go from Grosmont to Whitby for the day - by steam train.
