Itinerary
Excursions
Full Day: York
A full day excursion to the historic city of York, without doubt, one of our favourite tourist cities. There is plenty of time for sightseeing and shopping, but there is so much to take in you will have to be selective. The majestic Minster, the old Roman Walls, the Shambles, the Jorvik Centre and the National Railway Museum are all worth considering.
Half Day: Beverley
With its towering gothic minster, Beverley Westwood, North Bar (a 15th-century gate), Beverley Racecourse and beautiful Georgian townhouses and pretty market squares, it's a town full of history but still has an attractive present.
Half Day: Whitby
Today we make our way to Whitby,split by the River Esk on the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea. This is a picturesque fishing town and resort combined, set beneath a ruined Abbey.
