York, The Dales & Harrogate Afternoon Tea

Local departure by coach or Door-to-Door Service, then on to the 4-star DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa for a four-night stay.

Today, we journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, beginning with a visit to Pateley Bridge. This charming market town, nestled in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, climbs up the hillside and offers a blend of historic architecture, centuries-old history, and delightful local delicacies.

Next, we head to Grassington. Despite its market town status, Grassington exudes the warmth of a village with its bustling market square surrounded by quaint independent shops. With its backdrop of the scenic Yorkshire Dales, it's no wonder the town became the setting for the fictional 'Darrowby' in the latest All Creatures Great and Small series. As you wander, you'll come across inviting cafés, art galleries, and craft studios.

We conclude our day in Skipton, often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Dales'. This enchanting town beckons visitors with its maze of narrow lanes and passageways, as well as serene walks along its canals.
