We also visit the market town of Skipton, with its historic cobbled high street, romantic ruined priory and 900 year old castle, before we take a trip on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for a lively and fascinating journey through history.

Our final excursion takes us to the elegant spa town of Harrogate, with its beautifully preserved buildings and famous parks and gardens, and onto Pateley Bridge, a lovely little Dales town situated on the River Nidd.
