Goathland as a Contrasting Locality This Learning Journey is
based on a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to the
popular village of Goathland, well known as Aidensfield from the
TV series 'Heartbeat', and Hogsmeade in 'Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone.' The children will complete some
preparatory work at school before spending a day visiting the
North Yorkshire Moors Railway, stopping at Goathland for a walk
round the village (about a mile). There, the children will
investigate the range of housing and amenities available to the
inhabitants, and will be given the opportunity to reflect on the
effect the coming of the railway had on what used to be a remote
village, and how the series Heartbeat has changed Goathland even
more. There are also opportunities for children to study
physical geography and mapwork. See below for planning document.
