York & Scenic Yorkshire

None given.York & Scenic Yorkshire
Join us on this idyllic break to beautiful Yorkshire, where we combine the rolling hills and panoramic landscapes with charming villages and towns such as Brontë-famous Haworth and Skipton, which we visit on market day to browse the local bargains. We also enjoy a fantastic bar offer at our hotel and visit historic York with its sights that span the centuries, from the iconic Shambles to the glorious minster. With so much included, this lovely break is the perfect contrast of city and country!

York & Scenic Yorkshire
We head to the historic and picturesque city of York, a place steeped in centuries of heritage and charm. Marvel at the magnificent York Minster, one of the largest and most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe. Lose yourself in the enchanting 'Shambles' - a maze of narrow, cobbled streets lined with crooked timber-framed buildings, some dating back to the 14th century. No visit to York would be complete without stopping by the iconic Bettys Tea Rooms, where you can unwind in elegant surroundings and savour their world-famous afternoon tea, complete with delicate sandwiches, fresh scones and irresistible cakes.

We tour the stunning Yorkshire Dales, calling first at the market town of Skipton, known as the Gateway to the Dales, with a grand medieval castle as its centrepiece. We have time to browse the award-winning market, which still operates under a charter granted by King John over 800 years ago and offers a whole host of unique items and local produce.
Afterwards, we make our way to Haworth, where the Brontë sisters spent much of their lives. Boasting a historic cobbled main street set against stunning countryside, the village has a wonderful collection of quaint tea rooms, craft and gift shops, tempting restaurants and cosy pubs while the Brontë's former home, Haworth Parsonage, is now a museum and is fascinating to visit.
