Highlights
Hotel pick-up and drop-off is included on this wonderfully scenic tour of some of England's most beautiful rural scenery. Crossing the farmland of North Yorkshire, you will enjoy a stop in the moorside village of Hutton-le-Hole, before travelling across the heart of the wild and rugged North York Moors National Park. You'll enjoy a short visit to the tiny port of Staithes, taking in the spectacular views along the rugged coastline, before enjoying two hours in the fabulous seaside town of Whitby, famous for fish and chips as well as its association with Captain James Cook and Bram Stoker's Dracula. You'll then have time to wander through the maze of narrow, winding streets in the beautiful fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay. An optional visit to Goathland in the late afternoon gives Heartbeat fans the chance to see 'Aidensfield' and Harry Potter fans the opportunity to visit "Hogsmeade Station", before we make a final stop to see the ancient murals in Pickering Church.
