🚂 Swanage Railway Station, Station Road, Swanage, BH19 1HB

Join us for a beautiful day out on the impressive steam train, from Swanage to Corfe Castle.

The journey starts from the Victorian Seaside resort of Swanage, passing through the stations of Herston Halt, Harmans Cross & Corfe Castle.

Located in the Isle of Purbeck, in the county of Dorset, Swanage Railway Swanage Railway is the ideal place to enjoy a great family day out. Thankfully the railway has been restored since 1976, after almost seven miles of line were demolished in 1972.

The journey takes around 20 minutes to Corfe Castle Station, and once you arrive you’ll be blown away by it’s vintage charm & picture-postcard setting – I strongly suggest viewing from the bridge. The station frames the castle in the backdrop, and it truly looks wonderful.

Available at the station is the Station Buffet, where you can enjoy light bites & refreshments. We took the opportunity to sit inside for maximum experience and it didn’t disappoint. There’s also the Station Masters Office, Ladies Waiting Area & the Swanage Railway Museum.

Once we’d made the most of the railway, a short walk along Station Road leads to central Corfe Castle village. Incidentally the castle itself is named after the village it sits in. Lying in the gap below the castle, the civil parish of Corfe Castle stretches across the width of the Isle of Purbeck with coasts facing both the English Channel & Poole Harbour. It’s picturesque & historic, built entirely from local grey Purbeck limestone. The village is famous for its iconic 11th century castle ruins, charming streets, traditional tea rooms & rich medieval heritage.

From Station Road cross over the pedestrian crossing, turn right and then follow round left onto The Square. From here take a right past the village cross & pump. Situated to the right is the National Trust ticket office. Here you can purchase tickets to Corfe Castle. National Trust members are free.

Corfe Castle, the castle itself, is a survivor of the English Civil War, and is one of Britain’s most iconic & evocative castles.

Charmouth, Bridport, Dorset, DT6 6LS

Starting at the famous Charmouth beach, our walk today takes us to Seatown via Golden Cap.

Charmouth is a world-famous sand and shingle beach located on the Jurassic Coast. It’s renowned globally for fossil hunting, and it really doesn’t disappoint. Swimming is safe at low tide, with family-friendly flat sandy expanses, it sits within An Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It was nominated by the BBC’s Countryfile magazine as one of the UK’s Best Beaches 2017.

From the beach heading East across the bridge over the River Char, head uphill following the signs for the S W Coast Path. This leads directly to the National Trusts Golden Cap – a 191 metre high cliff and hill on the English Channel coast in Dorset. It is the highest point on the South coast of Great Britain. It’s famous for it’s distinctive golden-hued greensand cap and its location along the fossil-rich Jurassic Coast. We have completed this walk several times, and on both occasions the views were skewed by sea mist, so make sure to take plenty of pictures of the scenery, both on the way up and down.

Once you’ve marvelled at the beautiful views over Lyme Bay continue following the S W Coast Path down to Seatown. You’ll join Sea Hill Lane once you’ve reached Seatown, follow right into the centre. Here you’ll be greeted with an open expanse of beach and sea, with The Anchor Inn pub situated to the right – serving meals, ales, and beautifully presented wood-fired pizzas. It’s really not one to be missed, especially if you manage to get a beer garden table to the back of the pub. The views from here are genuinely mesmerising. Seatown is also part of the Jurassic Coast and is small, comprising of only a small number of houses, a holiday park and a pub.

I’d highly recommend this walk, with it’s panoramic views of the coast, it’s a very special place. It’s gruelling at certain points so be prepared, but the walk distance wise isn’t too difficult, it’s around 4.7 miles.

Sutton Bank North Yorkshire the "finest view"

Sutton Bank, Nr Thirsk, North Yorkshire, YO7 2EH

Join us for a walk at Sutton Bank National Park Centre in North Yorkshire. Sutton Bank offers a free day out, car park charges only. There are several car parks to choose from, so ample parking space is available.

Our walk takes in the finest view in England, and starts at the visitor centre. From here we made our way through the Nightjar Carpark following the red trail “The Finest View trail” along the well laid out paths along the Cleveland Way. The walk to the finest view takes around approximately 20 minutes, for steady walkers, and is accessible to wheelchair users. Once you reach the viewing point the views really open out, and are a sight to behold. The view was once declared the “finest view in England” by the famous vet and author James Herriot, and you can see why.

Sutton Bank is a hill, a high point on the Hambleton Hills in the English county of North Yorkshire, and offers extensive views across the Vale of York and the Vale of Mowbray. Pick a good day for the clearest of views.

After marvelling at the beautiful countryside views we continued on our way passing Gormire Lake – formed more than 20,000 years ago it has no visible river flowing in or out of it, giving rise to local legends.

Following on from the lake we deviated from the Cleveland Way heading right over to Dialstone Farm. Passing through several lanes, we cross over a corn field and onto the wooded area of Casten D**e, before exiting back onto the marked path which runs parallel to Sutton Banks cycle track. We cross over to the back of Sutton Bank through Curlew Carpark and back to the beginning.

Sutton Bank has much to offer. From longer to shorter walks, running trails to thrill-seeking bike rides, or just simply a place with a view for those who wish to take it steady whilst wildlife watching. There is also a play park for those with smaller children.

The visitor centre itself offers a cafe, shop, bike hire and toilets.

We found this to be a really pleasant place to visit, much easier shorter walks than what we’re used to, with plenty to do and see. I’d highly recommend it.

🚂Glaisdale Train Station, Glaisdale, North Yorkshire, YO21 2QL

Join us on the Glaisdale to Grosmont walk via Egton Bridge in the beautiful county of North Yorkshire, another Esk Valley walk. We take in several stations at Glaisdale & the much-loved station of Grosmont - renowned as a hub for railway enthusiasts, this peaceful village is famously known as the northern terminus of heritage North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) North Yorkshire Moors Railway

We began our walk at Glaisdale, stopping to admire the famous Beggars Bridge, before heading along the Alfred Wainwright Coast to Coast Path over to Egton Bridge. We pass through East Arnecliff Woods which follows the River Esk - at 28 miles long, it's the only major river that flows directly into the North Sea at Whitby. After exiting the woods we take a left onto the quiet country lane that leads directly into Egton Bridge. We took the time to stop here for a refreshing beverage at The Horseshoe Hotel. A beautifully presented 19th century pub that was grade ll listed in 1969. It has a large beer garden to the front of the building, & we were fortunate enough to sit & enjoy a drink in the well kept surroundings.

From here we followed the Coast to Coast Path sign situated just outside the pub, which leads down towards the River Esk. Here we traversed two sets of stepping stones - I love a good set of stepping stones. Taking a right onto Broom House Lane we followed the route crossing over to Barnard's Road, again all signposted. This stretch is just over a mile long with its beautiful hedgerows and the trickling sounds of the River Esk which runs alongside it, it's a peaceful stretch that leads to Front Street. Take a right here, this leads directly to Grosmont.

Grosmont is great for a little trainspotting. We enjoyed watching several locomotives manoeuvre around, & were even invited onto the Pullman Dining Train - definitely something I'd like to try in the future. From here we caught the train back to Glaisdale. A wonderful, steady walk for all to enjoy.
