FROM £Discover glorious Yorkshire, from the edge of the rugged Dales to its
spectacular coastline, via its majestic moorland. Take in ancient York,
discover delightful Brontë country and embark on scenic heritage
railway journeys.
Day 1. Meet in Harrogate
Your discovery of Yorkshire begins in Harrogate,
an attractive Georgian spa town. Here you meet
your Tour Manager at your hotel. You are free to
begin your explorations of the town before this
evening’s dinner in the hotel.
Day 2. Historic York
Take the train to nearby York today, and admire
this beautiful walled city with Roman and medieval
architecture in abundance on a guided tour
walking tour. You see landmarks such as the
magnificent Minster, and the quaint medieval
Shambles. Following the tour you are free to
explore. The National Railway Museum, with its
large collection of carriages and locomotives,
should not be missed. For a unique view of York,
walk along the 13th century city walls, or if you’re
feeling energetic, why not admire the panorama
from the top of the Minster’s central tower?
Day 3. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway
Today travel by coach to Goathland, made famous
as Aidensfield in ‘Heartbeat’, and then continue
to Whitby. Crowned by its brooding abbey and
famous as the setting for Bram Stoker’s Dracula,
Whitby boasts some of the UK’s finest fish andchip restaurants. Enjoy free time here to explore
before boarding the North Yorkshire Moors railway
back to Pickering and Harrogate. This enthralling
journey by steam* crosses the breathtaking North
York Moors National Park and sees you travel in
heritage carriages.
Day 4. Worth Valley and the Brontës
Enjoy a nostalgic journey on the heritage Keighley
& Worth Valley Railway. From Keighley, the steam-
hauled* trip takes you up the Worth Valley to
Oxenhope, passing the rugged hills, rustic stone
cottages and wild farmland immortalised in the
1970 film ‘The Railway Children’, which was filmed
here. Later, continue to the picturesque village of
Haworth stopping at the Brontë Parsonage, home
to the famous literary sisters. It was here, amid the
wonderfully dramatic landscape, that the Brontës
were inspired to write novels such as Wuthering
Heights and Jane Eyre.
Day 5. Homeward bound
After breakfast you are free to depart from
Harrogate, but perhaps take the time to visit one
of the town’s beautiful parks, Betty’s Tea Rooms, or
the well-known spa first.
