Honeysuckle Cottage is situated in the picturesque hamlet of Beckhole, which nestles in a wooded valley in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. The National Park itself covers some 500 square miles and incorporates some of the most stunning countryside in the UK. An exploration of the area will unveil open moorland, hills, dales, forests, river valleys and waterfalls.
Beckhole is located just half a mile from Goathland, where the 'Heartbeat' television series is set and where the Harry Potter train sequences were shot. The hamlet comprises 9 cottages, 2 farms and the Birch Hall Inn, a charming pub, steeped in character, serving lunches and fine ales and an old fashioned sweet shop for the young ones and those who are not so young.
The cottage stands on the embankment of the disused used incline railway line and at the junction of three footpaths, head up the incline for the short wooded walk to to Goathland or head down the track to Grosmont where the North Yorks Moors Railway meets the Esk Valley Line with rail access to Whitby or back to Goathland or on to Pickering.. Another path heads up the valley following the river to the Mallyan Spout water fall and on to Goathland.
