East Park is a picturesque region located in Yorkshire, England, known for its stunning combination of downs and moorland landscapes. Covering a vast expanse, the area is a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike.

The downs of East Park are characterized by their rolling hills, covered in lush green grass and scattered with vibrant wildflowers during the warmer months. These open spaces provide ample opportunities for hiking, picnicking, and taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The gentle slopes make it an ideal location for families and individuals seeking a leisurely stroll or a more challenging hike.

In contrast, the moorland of East Park offers a more rugged and untamed experience. With its heather-clad hillsides and rocky outcrops, this part of the region provides a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including birds, small mammals, and even rare plant species. Visitors can explore the moorland on foot or by bike, following the network of trails that wind through the area.

East Park is also home to several charming villages, each with its own unique character and history. These communities offer visitors the opportunity to experience local culture and hospitality, with traditional pubs, quaint shops, and historic landmarks to discover.

Whether it's the tranquility of the downs or the untamed beauty of the moorland, East Park in Yorkshire promises visitors a memorable and enriching experience in the heart of nature.

Site of the lost bridge on the Wensleydale Railway west of Redmire Remains of the bridge abutments are still visible. Replacing this bridge is a major problem in the plan to extend the railway west from Redmire, initially to Castle Bolton, and eventually to Garsdale.

View from the Wensleydale Railway The Wensleydale railway is a preserved railway in North Yorkshire. The line currently runs 22 miles (35 km) between Northallerton on the East Coast Main Line and Redmire. This makes the line the longest heritage railway in Great Britain. Occasional freight services and excursions travel the full length of the line, however regular passenger services currently only operate between Leeming Bar and Redmire, a distance of 16.5 miles (27 km). Formerly the line ran from Northallerton to Garsdale on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. However the track between Redmire and Garsdale was lifted and several bridges and viaducts were demolished in the past. (Wikipedia)
