Itinerary

DAY 1: Depart from your home area in the morning, travelling to the Crown Hotel for a 4 nights stay dinner, bed, and breakfast.

DAY 2: We make our way to Leyburn and visit Ceramic Inspirations, where a huge variety of items in all shapes and sizes are produced. Next door is the Chocolate Shop where you can treat yourself to something chocolatey! Afterwards, we journey to Hawes where we visit the 'Cheese Experience' at the Wensleydale Creamery, home of Yorkshire's famous cheese. Leaving Hawes, we head along the dale to Aysgarth then Northeast to nearby Richmond, a pretty town where we stop this morning for some time to explore and wander at leisure. You could enjoy the walk around Richmond Castle or perhaps visit the Green Howards Regimental Museum during our stop.

DAY 3: We can explore Harrogate this morning. With huge open spaces and broad tree-lined boulevards, antique shops and shopping malls, elegant buildings, abundant of greenery, flowers and plants, it is little wonder that the town is a frequent winner of Britain in Bloom awards. Harrogate also boasts the world-famous Betty's tearooms! Later, we drive to Ripon, with its magnificent Cathedral. Here we have time to obtain lunch and a look around before we continue on our way to delightful Masham where we feature a tour and tasting of the award-winning Black Sheep Brewery.

DAY 4: Our first stop this morning is the small village of Kilburn, under the famous White Horse. Here we visit the Mousey Thompson Visitor Centre, home to the famous woodworker renowned for his little mouse carving, adorning hand carved oak furniture throughout the land. The day continues via Byland Abbey and Ampleforth to Helmsley where we take a break and have time to obtain lunch. Perhaps visit Helmsley Walled Garden or visit Ryeburn of Helmsley, purveyors of award-winning ice creams. Leaving Helmsley we make for Thirsk and visit 'The World of James Herriot', a fascinating tour, including many of the props and three studio sets as featured in the long running TV series based on the life and times of local vet Alf Wright.

DAY 5: After breakfast we leave and begin our homeward journey.
