A tour that combines the delightful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and towns with the ruggedness of the Derbyshire Peak District and Pennine Moorlands, featuring a visit to a stately house, train journey and canal trip.
DAY ONE
We depart from your own front door, board your tour coach and travel to West Yorkshire with comfort stops enroute. Arrive at your hotel late afternoon; tea/coffee will be served on arrival, time to relax before dinner.
DAY TWO
Today we head for Holmfirth, home of the long running TV series ‘Last of the Summer Wine’. We take a break here and you will have chance to explore, see Sid’s Café and Nora Batty’s steps before we are on our way over Holme Moss with spectacular views as we descend into Longdendale and Buxton where you will be able to obtain lunch. The former spa town has much to offer, delightful gardens, pedestrianised shopping centre and tea rooms. This afternoon we drive to the delightful village of Castleton, home of the legendary Blue John Stone for a short break. Our return journey takes us to the Ladybower Reservoir with the ruins of Derwent village hidden beneath the waters of nearby Derwent Reservoir, skirting around Sheffield we return north to our hotel.
DAY THREE
This morning we head over the hills into Lancashire and the village of Foulridge, here we enjoy a delightful relaxing canal cruise as we glide through peaceful countryside. Later we continue to Rawtenstall where we join the East Lancashire Railway for a journey along the Irwell Valley to Bury. You will have time to obtain lunch, maybe at the ‘Trackside’ Bar on the station, and then you can explore the famous Bury Market, one of the largest in the north. Late afternoon we leave and make our way over the Pennines back to our hotel.
DAY FOUR
Our excursion today takes us to the small town of Otley, the original ‘Hotten’ in Emmerdale and continue through delightful Emmerdale scenery to the attractive spa town of Harrogate. Time to explore the town with its areas of immaculate grassland known as ‘The Stray’, and wander around the excellent pedestrianised shopping centre, offering a superb choice of quality shops & tea rooms where you could obtain lunch including the famous Betty’s. Leaving Harrogate we make the short journey to Harewood House, home of the Queen’s cousin and is a stunning treasure house with magnificent interiors, staterooms furnished by Thomas Chippendale and marvellous examples of art, all making Harewood one of the Great Treasure Houses of Britain.
