Guided Tour of York
Look forward to a guided tour of York, a city celebrated for its Roman, Viking and medieval heritage. It is truly a delight to explore its narrow alleyways. After your tour, perhaps take a boat trip on the River Ouse, visit the National Railway Museum or step back a thousand years at the JORVIK Viking Centre. Don’t miss magnificent York Minster – an absolute masterpiece of sculptured stone and stained glass windows.
Harrogate
We spend a day in the Victorian spa town of Harrogate, famous for its stylish Montpellier Quarter, Grade II listed Royal Pump Room and splendid St Wilfrid’s Church. Perhaps have a cuppa in landmark Bettys Café Tea Rooms or a stroll through Valley Gardens where you’ll find seasonal flowers and an Art Deco pavilion.
Skipton & Comedy Canal Cruise
We snake through the scenic Yorkshire Dales to delightful Skipton where we enjoy a cruise on the picturesque Leeds & Liverpool Canal. This sailing features side-splitting recorded commentary from award winning comedian, Dave Spikey from Phoenix Nights and 8 Out Of 10 Cats fame. Along with the jokes, you’ll hear about points of interest and canal history. Afterwards, free time in Skipton. Perhaps visit the 900-year-old castle, one of the best preserved medieval castles in England. It features twin towers, a banqueting hall, kitchen, bedchamber, privy, dungeon and watchtower. Otherwise, stroll along the tow path to Aireville Park, or visit the Craven Museum & Gallery.
