First-year arrival at Hogsmeade in Philosopher's Stone
Hogsmeade Station
Goathland Station, North Yorkshire, England
On the North Yorkshire Moors heritage railway, Goathland's stone platform doubled as Hogsmeade. The steam trains still run through Goathland today, and the moors around make a perfect day out.
