Wildlife at Newtondale Halt Newtondale Forest
North Yorkshire
England
Pickering is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: SE 834948
 A small 'railway halt' in the heart of Newtondale giving access to walks on forest and moor. The spectacular scenery combined with the sight and sound of steam locomotives make this a place not to be missed.
Mammals: Roe deer are common in this area so are foxes. They are most likely to be seen by the quite observer. We have information about Roe deer
Insects and reptiles: Watch out for adder, common lizard and slow worm along the roads and tracks from here. Its also a great part of the dale for butterflies. Habitats: Apart from the mixed woodland, streams and cliffs this part of the valley has extensive wet mires, very interesting but not the place to wander about in.
How to get there:
BY TRAIN ONLY. Use the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Pickering, Grosmont or other stations on the line.
