Idyllic and stunning Moors village that became prominent in the 19th Century as a spa destination, but most (older!) people will remember it as the fictional village of Aidensfield from the television drama "Heartbeat". You can still see Aidensfield Post Office, Aidensfield Stores, the old police car, and of course Scripps Funeral Services and Aidensfield Garage. A very popular destination in the spring and summer, being served by the North York Moors Railway, with easy access to nearby Moorland. Several cafes and restaurants to eat at, the fish and chips at the Inn on the Moor is excellent.
