Yorkshire Dales and Moors

We meet at our hotel near the market town of Guisborough, Gisborough Hall.

• Dinner

We travel along the coast, pausing at Goathland, famous as 'Aidensfield' in Heartbeat, before arriving in quaint Robin Hood's Bay. With its jumble of historic cottages nestled on the side of a cliff, this is one of the most scenic spots on the Yorkshire coast. We enjoy an insight into the village's smuggling history on a guided tour with the 'Whitby Storyteller', before continuing to Whitby. From its clifftop abbey to its cobbled streets and sandy beach, Whitby is a joy to explore. We visit an award-winning restaurant for a fish and chip lunch, before time to explore. Later, we transfer to Grosmont for a journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Meandering through the unspoiled landscapes of the North Yorkshire Moors, we travel in restored carriages to Pickering. From here, a coach takes us back to our hotel.

• Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

We travel by coach to Hawes this morning, visiting the Wensleydale Creamery - home of the famous Yorkshire cheese. We explore the museum, where we see live demonstrations from experienced cheesemakers and sample some of the different varieties of Wensleydale. There's free time for lunch in Hawes, a lovely market town set in the heart of the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales National Park. This afternoon, we join the Wensleydale Railway, enjoying a splendid afternoon tea on board as the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales passes by our window. We alight in the village of Leeming Bar and transfer by coach back to Guisborough.

• Breakfast, Dinner

A coach takes us to one of the country's grandest stately homes, Castle Howard. Set in the Howardian Hills Area of Natural Beauty, the house is breathtaking, with a symmetrical Baroque design crowned by a central dome. We have exclusive access to the house, enjoying a private tour before it opens to the public. We visit the Walled Garden, a paradise with fragrant roses, as well as the intricate Atlas Fountain and Temple of the Four Winds. We continue to the market town of Malton. A hive of gastropubs, independent eateries, and even a food court serving local produce, Malton showcases the best of the region's culinary offerings. We immerse ourselves in Malton's gastronomy with a walking tour, stopping along the way for tastings. We end our tour with a Yorkshire pudding masterclass, learning the secrets to this iconic Yorkshire staple.
