A walk with a touch of showbiz glamour. If you consider 'Heartbeat' to be glamorous. Goathland, at the start of route, doubled as Aidensfield in the popular show about people riding about on bikes and being a bit simple (from what I could gather). Still, aside from the razzle dazzle it's a pleasant walk through the North York Moors.

Or is it? Older walkers will recognise it at Aidenfield, from the coma-inducing tv show Heartbeat. Younger folk will get all over excited about the station, which doubled as Hogsmeade in the films about that wizard chap. Forget his name. From the village, head along the road towards the church.
