Goathland Circular

This is a circular tour around Goathland. I had intended it to be a figure of eight tour, but missed the path.
I parked in a small parking bay on the road to Goathland that leads from the A169 just before the NYMR bridge over the road. There is room for about three cars in the bay, though there is further parking a couple of hundred yards nearer Goathland.
I walked back from where I had parked and took the moorland track on the left. There's a stone marker here remembering a John Calvert who fell asleep here never to waken. The wide farm track has lovely views over the moors and in places you can see the railway line.
Eventually, the footpath leaves the farm track on the left and skirts to the right side of a house, the way being clearly marked.
After that the path reaches my favourite part of the tour: the huge stepping stones at Brocka Beck. The path then climbs up out of the dell, passing a house on the left. I kept on the track and then followed a marked path on the left. I think after crossing the little wooden bridge I should have been able to find the way to Abbot's House but failed. Instead I crossed a couple of clapper bridges to reach the track I had left earlier.
That led me to the road out of Goathland and I was able to find easily the path leading down to the railway station on the other side of the road. The path drops down the side of the hill to the station and there is a uphill section of road from the station.
I turned left opposite the Aidensfield Garage (television series of Heartbeat). This is a broad level track that took me back to near the bridge where I had parked.
I think there are three stiles on the route. When the trains are running there are several opportunities to see them working on the line. All in all, a delightful little tour.
