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 great 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.
