Day 1. Monday We depart and travel to Harrogate. Harrogate is the definitive boutique spa town in the heart of Yorkshire. Its thriving streets buzz with busy shops and eateries. With its handsome historic buildings and verdant gardens, Harrogate is one of Yorkshire's most elegant destinations. We arrive in the village of Rosedale Abbey later this afternoon and enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, before settling into your room with porterage included. Dinner included this evening with complimentary house wine, beer, or soft drink.
Day 2. Tuesday After a hearty breakfast we explore the fabulous North York Moors and Coast on our included excursion. We make a stop in the seaside town of Whitby, where you may browse the many shops along its cobbled streets and perhaps sample arguably the best fish & chips in the world! Later this afternoon we head back into the moors and dales, making a stop in the famous village of Goathland, or “Aidensfield” in TV’s Heartbeat. We return to the White Horse Farm Inn and enjoy tea and cake on our return. Dinner included this evening with complimentary house wine, beer or soft drink.
Day 3. Wednesday After breakfast we enjoy a short visit to the vibrant market town of Pickering, before continuing to Scarborough. From the rugged rocky headland and colourful seaside traditions of the South Bay, to the bright beach huts of the award-winning sandy North Bay, Scarborough has all the ingredients you need for an enjoyable visit. Later this afternoon we will return to our hotel via Thornton-le-Dale, a quaint English village and undoubtedly one of the most picturesque in Yorkshire. We return to the White Horse Farm Inn and enjoy tea and cake on our return. Dinner included this evening with complimentary house wine, beer, or soft drink.
Day 4. Thursday We check out and depart this morning after breakfast and enjoy a visit to York. Renowned for its exquisite architecture, Gothic cathedral and tangle of quaint cobbled streets, historic York is the setting for a perfect visit. But as old meets new, the city also has many surprises in store as vibrant cafés, colourful street entertainers and boutique and high street shopping lie waiting to be discovered. We depart York later this afternoon for our return home.
