From Pretty Dales to Rails in Yorkshire

This holiday offers a look at the varied attractions and scenery in this county.

Another popular destination with our clients is Yorkshire, as it is one of England’s most scenic and Historic counties. We combine the very best of the scenery which includes travelling along the spectacular Settle & Carlisle line, plus following in the footsteps of some best loved television programmes and literary giants.

The cobbled market square set against a backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales was used as the fictional town square in the television series All Creatures Great and Small. Our next stop is the town of Skipton with its canal towpath running through the town centre. In the afternoon we embark on a two hour canal boat cruise with a Cream tea along the beautiful Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
