Danby Beacon and the Moors Centre
Riverside path, a climb to the beacon and a return over Oakley Walls with the Esk Valley spread out below.
A scenic branch line from Middlesbrough to Whitby that calls at nine moorland villages.

The Esk Valley line is an ordinary National Rail service and an extraordinary journey, following the Esk from its source on the moors to the sea and stopping at Great Ayton, Battersby, Kildale, Commondale, Castleton, Danby, Lealholm, Glaisdale, Egton Bridge, Grosmont, Sleights and Ruswarp before Whitby. Four or five trains a day each way. Use it to walk from one village to the next and ride back, or to link with the steam railway at Grosmont.
