Estação Ferroviária Goathland
É a segunda parada ao longo da famosa North Yorkshire Moors Railway, a ferrovia mais popular da Inglaterra, mas para os fãs de Harry Potter, a estação ferroviária Goathland é mais conhecida como a estação fictícia de Hogsmeade, onde os jovens bruxos e bruxas desembarcam do Expresso de Hogwarts para a vila bruxa de Hogsmeade e da Escola de Magia e Bruxaria de Hogwarts. Infelizmente, não há bruxos para serem vistos na verdadeira Goathland Station, embora o edifício tradicional da estação de tijolos de pedra e a distinta ponte vermelha sejam imediatamente reconhecíveis nos filmes de Harry Potter.
Não foi apenas Harry Potter que tornou Goathland famoso - a pitoresca estação ferroviária também foi vista na tela em séries de TV britânicas como Heartbeat e All Creatures Great and Small, bem como em um videoclipe Simply Red.
The basics
Sightseeing tours of the North York Moors typically combine a visit to Goathland Railway Station with trips to nearby locations such as Hutton-le-Hole, an idyllic hamlet with a sheep-inhabited village green; the Hole of Horcum, a scenic hollowed-out valley; and the seaside town of Whitby.
Another way to see the station is by taking a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR), a popular heritage steam train that runs between Pickering and Whitby, offering period carriages and views of the North York Moors National Park. Goathland is also the starting point for several scenic walks.
Things to know before you go
- A tearoom at the station serves drinks and snacks.
- The small village of Goathland—just a few minutes walk away—is home to several inns, hotels, cafes, and a pub.
- There are wheelchair-accessible restrooms and parking at Goathland Station, and NYMR trains can accommodate passengers using wheelchairs.
How to get there
Goathland Railway Station is about a 70-minute drive from York via the A64 and A169. The Yorkshire Coastliner service 840 travels between York railway station and Goathland bus station, though the most atmospheric way to arrive is undoubtedly by traveling aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
When to get there
Heritage steam trains puff through the station daily from April through October, as well as on select dates during holiday periods, such as Christmas.
