North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a truly stunning attraction all year round and is situated in one of the most beautiful areas of the county; allowing visitors to see 24 miles of Yorkshire’s amazing scenery across six quaint stations; one of which became Hogsmeade station in the first Harry Potter film.

One of NYMR’s unique offerings is the ability to stay in a station cottage or one of their two camping coaches.

These special locations are billed as ideal bases for walking holidays, family weeks away or for rail enthusiasts who want to experience the thrill of steam trains first hand – with all stays including unlimited travel on their heritage train services.
