The pretty village of Goathland trades on its role years ago in the UK TV series Heartbeat, plus the steam trains that visit in the Summer.
For cyclists it’s much more interesting because, like many villages in the North Yorkshire Moors, it is surrounded by good hills. Starting just outside of Grosmont, the ride takes back roads to Goathland and then climbs out of the village to finish high on Sleights Moor.
