Day 2 – The beautiful RHS Harlow Carr Gardens and timeless York
This morning, we visit the beautiful gardens of RHS Harlow Carr,
filled with colourful flowers, perfectly manicured lawns, and
towering trees that are home to various species of birds.
There are lots of areas within the garden to explore, the
beautiful trees and wildflowers of the Woodland Walk, visit the
Alpine House - where you can see rare and exotic alpine plants from
around the world, or simply sit and take in the tranquil
surroundings.
After wandering the beautiful gardens, we continue to the
historic city of York. Walking through the cobbled streets on a
guided tour, we admire medieval architecture, see The Shambles - a
renowned street which has remained almost unchanged since the
Middle Ages, and learn about the city's Roman and Viking
heritage.
Our tour ends at the glorious Minster - one of Europe's largest
Gothic cathedrals - where entrance is included. The beauty of its
architecture continues inside with stunning stained glass windows
and intricate craftsmanship that's evident in every corner of this
magnificent place of worship. If you're feeling brave, you could
ascend the Central Tower for breathtaking views of the city.
The rest of the day is at leisure, and you could visit the
National Railway Museum, indulge in afternoon tea at one of the
cosy cafes, or enjoy a local pint at one of the countless pubs
within the city walls. Heading back to Harrogate by rail, we enjoy
dinner at our hotel this evening.
