Day 1: Following your home taxi collection, we join our luxury tour coach and head north to Harrogate and the four star Cedar Court Hotel, our base for the next four nights. We are greeted with tea/coffee & biscuits while our luggage is delivered to our rooms.
Day 2: Our journey today begins with a visit to Skipton – ‘the Gateway to the Dales’. We take a river cruise on the Skipton Canal with a rib-tickling commentary by Dave Spikey, (tea and biscuits are also included). After our visit, we step back into a bygone era and enjoy a journey onboard the Embsay and Bolton Railway through the picturesque scenery. Our final visit of the day will be to Bolton Abbey, a ruined Priory set in a beautiful and tranquil location alongside the River Wharfe, surrounded by moorland, woodland, and riverside - a truly inspirational setting.
Day 3: After a leisurely breakfast, we head for Harewood House, one of the Treasure Houses of England set in the heart of rural Yorkshire. The house holds an impressive art collection including renaissance masterpieces and exquisite Thomas Chippendale furniture, all combined with 100 acres of spectacular gardens and a renowned lakeside Bird Garden. Later we return to Harrogate where the rest of the day is free for you to explore at leisure. Perhaps take a stroll through the beautiful Valley Gardens or enjoy some retail therapy in the delightful Victoria arcades. You could maybe even visit the famous ‘Betty’s Tearooms’.
Day 4: This morning we visit the historic cathedral city of York. You will have the morning to explore this fascinating city, and with so much to see and do, you will be spoilt for choice! You could visit the National Railway Museum or Jorvik Centre, walk the City Walls, explore the little streets and alleyways in the centre, and not forgetting the magnificent Minster. This afternoon we journey to the Ryedale Vineyard, an award-winning winery at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds. We will enjoy a tour of the winery, learning how much dedication goes into producing their wine. Our tour will end with a tasting.
Day 5: Sadly this morning we depart our hotel and head to Lincoln for some free time, before making our way back to Norfolk. Upon arrival our taxi service will be waiting to take you home.
