The
North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR)
The
North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs from Pickering to Whitby. This
English railway journey, which takes about 1½ hours, is not only
beautiful, but sensational, too.
The
trains, which are pulled
by steam engines, go through the North Yorkshire National Park
which is an area of natural beauty. In the North Yorkshire National
Park there are moors, forests, countless rivers and
streams, and, of course, many horses, sheep, and cattle. On
the way from Pickering to Whitby, the trains stop at 4 typical
English villages.
The
North Yorkshire Moors Railway (the NYMR) has also starred in many
great films. One of them was Harry Potter. I’m sure you remember
the Howgwart’s Express!
The
North Yorkshire Moors Railway, the nicest railway in England.
