Grosmont is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, tucked into the wooded Esk Valley on the banks of the River Esk and lying within the North York Moors National Park. Its name hints at Norman influence, and the setting - steep valley sides, moorland above and stone cottages below - makes it a favourite for walkers and photographers exploring the moors and nearby coast around Whitby.
Historically the village expanded in the 19th century with mining and, crucially, the railway; today the preserved North Yorkshire Moors Railway and its historic engine sheds are a major draw, bringing heritage tourists and supporting local pubs, tearooms and small businesses. The result is a community that combines a long rural history with a lively cultural scene centred on railway events, conservation of traditional buildings and a steady flow of visitors enjoying the landscape.
