Hidden gem village with stunning scenery and historic pub less than an hour from TeessideThis village in North Yorkshire offers stunning walks to Thomas Foss waterfall and the historic Birch Hall Inn dating back to the 1600sThe Yorkshire hamlet is a walker's paradise (Image: Dave Himelfield)Brimming with countryside allure, this Yorkshire village provides a quintessentially English day out or weekend retreat, complete with breathtaking landscapes and historical landmarks – not least its renowned pub. ‌Accessible via several steep lanes, it's a destination primarily visited by keen walkers and hikers eager to discover new terrain. ‌One of the most frequented routes enticing people into the village is the historic rail trail, which follows a disused railway line. This line links the nearby towns of Goathland and Grosmont, passing through the village en route. However, after a day spent roaming the moors, it's the Birch Hall Inn that keeps visitors returning, thanks to its traditional pub charm and cosy ambience.
