Larpool Viaduct over River Esk
The bridge formerly carries a railway line, but now is closed to traffic and used as part of a cycle path (NCN1)
River Esk (North Yorkshire)
River Esk rises on Westerdale Moor (North Yorkshire Moors) and flows east 28 miles to Whitby. A good Salmon river.
Old Scarborough to Whitby line
The railway line between Scarborough and Whitby was opened in 1885 and was very popular with holiday makers. It opened up the North Yorkshire coastline to tourists. It was closed in 1965. The route now is a cinder track and forms part of National cycleway 1 (Dover to John O' Groats). It is also a popular walking trail. A full history of the line can be read at Link
