Juxtaposing those old photographs with the current appearances of the same locations is a great historical service and gives us all a truly rich perspective on things. Priceless.
Fantstic, we have walked along this beautiful path so many times over the years parking the car at Cloughton old station then walking to Whitby and getting the bus back, sadly because of covid & personal illness we haven't been for a few years now so watching your wonderful films bring it all fiooding back to me so thank you so very very much for sharing
Had this line survived I would imagine that it would have been as popular as the NYMR, stunning coastal and countryside scenery. Great video presentation and informative.
I’m fortunate to have travelled on this line as a child while on holiday. I remember the journey well , so it made a lasting impression. Thanks for the memories.
Another fascinating installment 👍 The drone footage really helps to locate you in the wider environment. I can honestly say your presentation and content is equal to anything you'd see on terrestrial TV. Really looking forward to part three and all future content 😀
Never travelled the line by train, but have walked the whole line many times. This is brilliant, especially the drone shots and the historical photos. Already looking forward to part 3. Many thanks!!
A lovely follow up to the first video. So interesting and such beautiful scenery. I've watched it a few times and it has cheered me up on dreary days !
Excellent video. Enjoyed so much been holidaying around whitby and robin hood's bay last couple of years .Love the whole area great, to see the walk along the old railway. Look forward to the last part..
My Dad took me to most of those places back in the 1950s when I was a little girl.Beautiful country I miss the English country side as I now live in the USA. Thank you for sharing.
After living in Scarborough for 20 years , and a short time in Ravenhall, plus raising 2 children in that time, its nice to see these videos. I now live near Munich, there is no Sea at all. I am looking forward to the Ravenscar video. In 1985 there was a mini Disco night in Heyburn Wyke, and we would visit it from Raven Hall, we where younger then and looking for entertainment, or a chance to get out without going to Scarborough because of transport problems, we couldn't afford the Taxi fare.
Another superb video Andrew; thanks for taking the time to create and share it. The subject mater is naturally beautiful on such a bright sunny day, but it takes real skill to capture it. Your drone shots are exemplary. Well done.
I grew up close to the line in this area, Burniston & then Staintondale. We'd often walk or cycle up the cinder track if the weather was good. Fantastic to see the old haunts, the se & the landscape again after so long.
Thanks for the lovely memories of this line. Very well presented with good filming technique and interesting historical content. I enjoy the way you tell your viewers what you are going to do in the future, e.g. filming Ravenscar.
Yet another great video. I rode from whitby to Ravenscar for the first time last year and came across the brick works and tunnel. The owners of the tea rooms in the (half built) square told us a few tales about the place. Looking forward to your video on that 👍
A great detailed and interesting part 2. I thoroughly enjoyed part 1 and now part 2. Thank you for the interesting facts and footage. Whitby and Robin Hood`s Bay are paradise to me which makes your videos even more special. Thanks and take care.
Thanks for the vid. Living in the North West I have often wondered, many times, what this particular Line was like and it's steep gradients. Love the pictures of Steam Locos too. Sad that it's gone; I would have loved to have ridden the Line listening to the sound of the Steam Locomotives battling the inclines.
Ravenscar’s a great place to walk around. Back in 1975/6 we had a quick trip out to Hayburn Wyke when on family holiday in Scarborough. I still remember the great ‘Chicken in a Basket’ which the pub served as a bar meal. Hope it’s still on the menu!
The wooden platform building at Hayburn Wyke used to be let out as a holiday property in the final years of the lines existence , i recall staying there as a youngster in1964 (?) A local farmer used to feed his pigs on seaweed from the beach.
Another superb video. Love Robin Hoods Bay been there several times and parked in the car park without realising it was part of the old railway route! Drone shot was particularly good as I've never seen Robin Hoods Bay from the sea! Very enjoyable watch whilst on holiday in Wilsthorpe just along the coast. Looking forward to part 3!
Excellent presentation style, Calm and informative. Not in your face and over the top like some youtube presentations. Maybe we’ll see you on tv one day. Regarding the comment about Fyling Hall station, I was told it was to serve Fyling Hall School. Not sure if that is correct but I think it’s slightly nearer than Robin Hoods Bay station. All the best Andrew Greg Fylingthorpe
Hi, I caught your first video on the Cinder Path and thought that was good, but this was even better. Great drone work and wonderful views coupled with some beautiful old stations. It's always a real treat when you come across a station that has been lovingly looked after and even better when they have the platforms as well.
In the 70's I volunteered on the NYMR and travelled from London regularly with some friends. One of them had a Morris Minor, and one day we explored some of the Whitby to Scarborough line. At Ravenscar Paul drove the Minor, with me and another friend up onto the trackbed and drove north right into the Ravenscar tunnel. We could not get right through and reversed out!
I can remember riding on the train from Scarborough to Whitby with my parents. We had a weekly ticket that allowed us to travel from Leeds to all the east coast resorts from whitby down to Bridlington, but my favourite part of the route was Scarborough to Whitby where the views from the train were spectacular. At each station where the trains change over, before they could proceed onto the next part of the single track they had to get a token the the driver travelling in the opposite direction.
Another great video, as always so well presented too. Yet more fab drone footage. Thanks again for posting this and looking forward to part 3 and any others to come. Keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍
Oh, by the way, i think it would be better to have these old lines reopened, even if only for heritage status only with classic steam trains and some modern trains alike so everyone can enjoy them once again
Fantastic video I did the coastal walk from Scarbrough to Whitby part way along the old railway many years ago. Thanks for the vid. Brill drone footage
Really enjoyed that. We were on the line from Pickering to Whitby on the Coronation BH. Went under the viaduct which I knew nothing about. Great video explained how it came about. Loved the music as well. We had our chips at the Magpie!! Thanks a lot.
Another great vlog with stunning views which you have managed to capture well. Really looking forward to your Ravenscar vlog. For what it is worth I hope they never re-open disused railway lines as they are great for walking.
Thank you for the series of videos - really enjoyed all three of them. They took me back to a 'not so very long ago time'. The drone shots were judiciously use to explain and simply amaze and you were so lucky with the weather. You must have enjoyed the project. One thing that struck me about the Lost town of Ravenscar - why not start it up again. With the general shortage of housing both affordable and other, it would seem a great opportunity. Might even help to re-open the line. Just a thought without much heed to the downside. Thanks again.
Thanks for your comments Ian and I'm glad you enjoyed them. I enjoyed putting it together as I'd had it in the back of my mind for over a year! That's a great idea about Ravenscar! They could easily increase the bus service that runs to there.
What magnificent countryside and trail segments. Oh how I see a budding tourist business around guided tours of people on recumbent trikes! Promise me you will ride a recumbent trike on sections of this trail and film it for us! Your drone can be used filming you from above while riding along on a recumbent trike. A perfect variation for moving along so much faster and seeing so much more in a day.
I grew up here too, in Fylingthorpe b. 1965, so I can tell you why there was a station at Fyling Hall! Simple, there was, and still is, a boarding school and pupils arrived at the station with their luggage, before hopping onto a horse and cart and traipsing off up towards the moors, where the school is, at the beginning of term. The station was mainly for these folks, and served its purpose until 1964(?), when the line was closed, and buses from Whitby or Scarborough were hired to ferry the kids presumably. This was all before my time. I only remember the village occupied by Fyling 'Allers on Saturday afternoons, and when they walked down for church services. This was in the late '70s early 80s. I often biked up the cinder track to Fyling Hall station, and remember we drank water from their garden tap, and used the outside toilet quite freely, as noone was ever around when we passed by there. We picnicked on the platform, which was still three feet up from the cinder track, and all very station-like and intact. The bridge just after the station must have been dismantled soon after the Beeching cuts, as I can't remember it, though I remember the Bay bridge and the one near Thorpe Cricket Ground (vaguely).
Another lovely walk along the cinder track. Great engaging commentary and a nice choice of music. Look forward to hearing more about 'the town that never was.' Cheers
Great video, this installment inspired me to travel down from Durham and complete the Hawsker to Ravenscar section and back along.The views are tremendous. Great that you dropped down into Robin Hoods Bay for some video footage, that hills a killer! I shall return and try some of the section south of Ravenscar.
Really enjoy all of your videos, thank you for the time and effort you put into making each one👍👍👍 i love this part of the country and travel to Scarbro every year since 83, my kids are taking their kids now 😊
That was fascinating, loved it. Never been to Hayburn Wyke and it looks lovely. Something I need to address! Great work and loved the accompanying music too.
we are coming on holiday soon and will definitely be doing some of the walks on here with our dogs we have cycled from Robin hoods Bay to Scalby and back great ride some 25 years ago also no one ever mentions the film with Moore Marriot in it filmed at Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby called The Turn of Tides shown on Talking Pictures recently.
When we stay at West Ayton, we have walked the old railway line from Ravenscar to Robinhood bay on many an occasion. We then take the Cleavland Way back. Some steep bits on the way back but the sceanery is beautiful.
Have younanh of the videos put out by the NYMR on YT? They include driver training videos showing the line ahead on both the NYMR and the Esk Valley line.
Juxtaposing those old photographs with the current appearances of the same locations is a great historical service and gives us all a truly rich perspective on things. Priceless.

Such a pretty railway, such a shame it's been lost.

Thanks Tony. Really appreciate that. Plenty more to come!
Loving this series .. your filming , knowledge and delivery make this such a joy to watch …more please
Thanks David.
I just wanted to say I’m really enjoying your films , very interesting and beautifully filmed 👍 please keep up the good work 😎
Thanks Peter!
Simply a beautiful walk, and filmed like a professional
You bring history memorably to life , who wouldn’t want to ride this glorious line
Cheers Robert.
Really well produced. So atmospheric too. Great use of archive photos.
Thanks Chris.
Really like your Yorkshire videos keep them coming 👍
Brilliant, takes me back to some wonderful holidays we had there. Although less accessible the line north of Whitby and Sandsend is also fascinating.
Never travelled the line by train, but have walked the whole line many times. This is brilliant, especially the drone shots and the historical photos. Already looking forward to part 3. Many thanks!!
Another gem and a real joy to watch. Keep it going Andrew.
Thanks John!
A real treat for all the senses, love the history, views, information and the comprehensive commentary.
Brilliant!! and the MUSIC completes the picture! Stay Safe!
Nice vid. Looking forward to the Ravenscar video.not been there since 1974. Our school used to own Cliff house. Spent many happy times there.
A lovely follow up to the first video. So interesting and such beautiful scenery. I've watched it a few times and it has cheered me up on dreary days !
Excellent video. Enjoyed so much been holidaying around whitby and robin hood's bay last couple of years .Love the whole area great, to see the walk along the old railway. Look forward to the last part..

Cracking video. Looks like a good route for a run, especially in that nice weather. The Ravenscar video is getting a big build up 😁👍🏻

Cheers for these mate. I grew up in Stainsacre, but, haven't done the walk in years, so it's nice to see it all again and how it's all changed
Thanks for another cracking ramble 🍰🍰
just brilliant . enjoy that pint .short documentaries like this put mainstream tv to shame
Lovely video, give me the yorkshire coast anyday over a foreign holiday
Thanks Ian.
Love this channel takes me back to a simpler life ………. great family holidays …….. such beautiful scenery thank you for the walk ☺️
Thank you for your time and effort in making this beautiful and enjoyable video.

I look forward to seeing video 3 of this series and thank you very much for bringing back so much memories of north Yorkshire coast
Oh, by the way, i think it would be better to have these old lines reopened, even if only for heritage status only with classic steam trains and some modern trains alike so everyone can enjoy them once again
Excellent and knowledgeable presentation with superb drone camera footage. Really enjoyed the episode. Thanks.
Thanks Colin!
Another brilliant film love the drone footage 👏
Nice to see the honesty box for the snack shop… and the trust placed on those to pay for what they take.
Brilliant,
Part one was fantastic and revealed so much I had to do it.. won't be long before I'm doing part 2.. Thankyou.
Cheers Nigel!
Your videos are very professional and impressive. Well worth capturing and all the hard work you clearly have put into them. Thank you!
Thanks Ben.
Excellent video and commentary. The old photos bring the line back to life. Bring on part 3
Fabulous video, looking forward to the final episode 👍
There is a lovely and uplifting vibe to your films 🎥 Many thanks.🤗
Cheers Christopher.
Enjoyed your video and hope to ride this walk soon 👍🏻

Another great vlog with stunning views which you have managed to capture well. Really looking forward to your Ravenscar vlog. For what it is worth I hope they never re-open disused railway lines as they are great for walking.
I agree, to be honest. I should have added a comment about the narrow gauge railway running in addition to the Cinder Track rather than instead of it.
Another excellent, well filmed and informative video. Nice one.
Thanks Steve.
So good to watch this. I love old railway line walks and the area is so lovely
Thanks Andrew. Another Gem.
Superb video and even a “proper” pint at the end too 😉 Thank you, not least as it must take you quite some time to put these together.
Thanks Christian! 🍻
fantastic video, entertaining and informative, given me some great ideas for outings

Great video I grew up there roaming round scalby beck n cinda tracks fishing avoiding bailiffs with my school pals good days
Thanks! Scalby beck and the viaduct are covered in the next one.

Thanks for sharing. I'm enjoying your videos. Living Down Under, I'll probably never get to visit UK due to COVID and not winning the lottery .lol
One word: superb.
Thank you Dee.
Absolutely brilliant once again, thank you. The whole story of Ravenscar is a fascinating one so I look forward to seeing your future video.
Thanks fella, another great presented video of our wonderful NY coast.
Cheers David.
A stunning walk with the weather to match 🌞
I grew up here too, in Fylingthorpe b. 1965, so I can tell you why there was a station at Fyling Hall!

Stunning unbelievable content thank you again North Yorkshire Moors Railway soon please
Have younanh of the videos put out by the NYMR on YT? They include driver training videos showing the line ahead on both the NYMR and the Esk Valley line.
Thanks Andrew. I'll get at least one in on there this year :)
