DESCRIPTION

Skelton Cottage at Levisham Station is ideal for heritage rail enthusiasts being located next to North Yorkshire Moors Railway. From the garden you can see, hear, smell and feel the power of steam trains as they rumble into the station. It’s a crossing point on the line so locomotives wait, often blowing off steam with mighty force; coal on shovel is heard as the fire is stoked; Drivers with oily rags wipe down whilst Signalmen and Guards chatter. Passengers wait; willing to be the first to herald the sound of whistles and the echoing sound of steam in this canyon valley.

Our location in the heart of the North York Moors National Park and the International Dark Sky Reserve wins with Nature lovers, Artists, Cyclists and Walkers, and those who simple want to relax and recharge. We are one of the best places in the UK to practice Astronomy so come see the ‘Milky Way’ or simply stargaze in wonderment.

Newtondale, carves through the moorland plateau, leaving a spectacular landscape of open heather moorland, wooded hillsides, and lush wildflower meadows. The habitats encourage birds and wildlife to visit our garden and pond. On local walks listen out for the Curlews, Turtle Doves, Nightjars and watch the skies for Merlin and Peregrines. In summer there are Butterflies and pollinators to be observed and in autumn an array of fungi can be discovered on the moor.

Kay welcomes guests with a freshly baked Honey cake made with our own Grove House Honey or a Yorkshire fruit tea loaf, and there could be seasonal treats too.

The spectacular Jurassic coast with such attractions as Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay are only a train ride or short drive away and it’s 45 minutes to the National Railway Museum in York.
