Local Area:
Set in the North East of the North Yorkshire Moors, Grosmont is surrounded by woodlands and traditional farmland. It was originally known as Grandimont, named after the priory of the same name, founded in about 1200AD. There are no visible remains of the priory today, however some notable artefacts lie about one mile to the east of the village close to weathered monoliths known as the ‘High Bride Stones. A second group of stones further down are know as the ‘Low Bride Stones’. During the Industrial Revolution, Grosmont became a centre for mining iron ore. In 1835, a new railway opened between Pickering and Whitby, one of the earliest in Yorkshire, and in 1865 the Esk Valley branch was constructed, forming a junction at Grosmont. Today, the line has been reopened and is enjoyed by people of all ages; visitors and railway enthusiasts alike come to enjoy one of the most spectacular stretches of railway landscape in the world.
