About Newtondale Forest

Newtondale Forest is situated in one of the most spectacular valleys in Yorkshire created when meltwater from an ice age glacier gouged a deep gorge through the hills. Originally planted as a 'typical' Forestry Commission wood much has been done in recent years to restore the rugged nature of this incredible landscape.

How to get there:

Pickering is the nearest town or village.

By train. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs regular steam services from Pickering and Grosmont near Whitby to Newtondale Halt and Levisham Station.
