Our kids love the North Yorkshire Moors Railway ('NYMR') (they're aged 3 and 5, so perhaps it's understandable), and when we go for a trip in the summer we will often break our journey here. It's a pleasant enough little stop; as a station it can't really be faulted. In the summer it tends to get very busy with tourists on the Heartbeat trail. If you want to avoid them a good tip is to head off for a walk: behind the southbound platform there's a gate, and if you turn left (heading north) there's a pleasant little path that will take you back over the railway in due course and into the village via a different route to everyone else. You'll probably need a bit of peace and quiet because when you get back to the station it will be heavingly busy again -- the northbound and southbound trains have to arrive and depart at the same time as most of the NYMR is single-track
