The kids really enjoyed riding on the steam train. To hear the sound of the train as it chugged through the hills and see a tunnel fill with smoke was just two of the things they enjoyed. The trains stopped at very old stations and the carriages on the train seemed just as old. We felt like we were Peter, Edmond, Lucy and Susan just waiting to be magically whisked off to Narnia!!
One of the stops along the way was a small village called Goathland. We had two hours there to explore the village (which didn't take long)and to enjoy the views. We stopped at one of the village stores to get an ice cream. One of the flavours were Blackcurrant and licorice. Sounds interesting doesn't it? I wish I had tried it, but defaulted to the boring and chose mint chocolate chip - it was good though.
The sheep roamed freely throughout this village. If you look carefully you can see sheep on the grass verge. Consequently we had to watch carefully where we walked!!!!
