Itinerary
Excursions
Full Day: York
A full day excursion to the historic city of York. There is plenty of free time to explore this favourite tourist city, and with so much to see - the majestic Minster, a walk along the old Roman walls, the Shambles, the Jorvik Centre and the National Railway Museum are all worth considering.
Half Day: North York Moors
A full day excursion deep into the rolling moorlands of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. First we descend Sutton Bank to Thirsk where we visit the James Herriot Museum - synonymous with the Yorkshire Moors. In the afternoon we reach the market town of Pickering before completing our day in Goathland, in the heart of the Moors.
Half Day: Scarborough
In a setting unsurpassed for scenic beauty, Scarborough is bounded by the North York Moors and the rolling pastures of the Yorkshire Wolds. The town itself straddles two majestic bays and is dominated by an impressive headland, capped by a Norman castle. There are acres of spacious gardens, cliff top walks, a colourful working harbour, spa complex with frequent shows and concerts, a renowned theatre and lots of traditional seaside activities and entertainment.
