Day 1: Following your home taxi collection we travel to Harrogate, arriving late afternoon at the Old Swan Hotel for our 4 night stay on a dinner, bed & breakfast basis.
Day 2: This morning we take a short drive to the spa and market town of Knaresborough for a stop to enjoy the scenery and high street. The town hosts many cafes and tearooms, perfect for warming up, or you may enjoy a wander along the riverside. We then return to Harrogate where the rest of the day is free for you to explore at leisure. Enjoy a lovely stroll through beautiful Valley Gardens, visit the delightful Victoria arcades for some retail therapy, have a relaxing lunch in one of the many restaurants, cafes and bars or maybe even visit the famous ‘Betty’s Tearooms’.
Day 3: Our day takes us into the Yorkshire Dales, passing through the pretty village of Pateley Bridge, travelling over the moorland until we arrive at Grassington. We have a chance to enjoy a stop here to enjoy the quaint cobbled market town and perhaps have a hot drink. Afterwards, we head to the market town of Skipton, known as the ‘Gateway to the Dales’. The High Street leads up to the church, behind which you see the impressive 900-year-old castle and Skipton Woods. Today is also market day so you have a chance to grab a bargain or some local goods.
Day 4: Today we head to the historic cathedral city of York where you will be able to make the most of the city and enjoy the atmosphere of the Christmas Markets. Get yourself in the Christmas spirit as you wander around the St. Nicholas Fair in the centre or you could wander off the beaten track to find the hidden gems down the Shambles or browse around the diversion selection of unique goods on the Shambles Market. Later this afternoon, we will return to the hotel to enjoy a Cream Tea at the hotel with Tea, Scones, Clotted Cream & Jam – ending your week on a sweet note.
Day 5: Sadly this morning we depart our hotel and make our way to Lincoln for some free time before continuing our journey to Norfolk. We arrive late afternoon and re-join our taxi service who will return you safely home.
