NEW TOUR
Including Harewood House, Skipton boat cruise with ‘Dave Spikey’ and exclusive access to Helmsley Walled Gardens!
Harrogate makes a great base for a gateway as we have three varied days in resort. At Helmsley Walled Gardens in the moors we have an exclusive access tour and among other things observe the healing power of horticulture, there is also a cream tea! Harewood House is full of treasure and is known as the V&A of the north. Then finally on our day in the Dales we have an hour-long cruise on the canal with hilarious commentary from Dave Spikey from Phoenix Nights - plus much more! On one evening our hotel provides a Yorkshire evening with themed pre-dinner drink, meal, and quiz.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.

Tours whilst at resort
A | Into the moors and we unearth the positive effect of horticulture with an exclusive access guided tour of Helmsley, plus the opportunity to meet and talk to the volunteers who saved the gardens from dereliction. There are also colourful iris borders, peonies and indigenous plants to Yorkshire plus we are treated to a cream tea. We also visit Malton, Yorkshire’s food capital, a town of makers and markets set in beautiful countryside.
B | To Harewood House, set in over 100 acres of gardens with plants from all over the world in a landscape created by Capability Brown. We can also spend time inside the house and learn about life above and below stairs. There will also be time to explore Harrogate.
C | Into the dales for a circular tour with stops in Skipton and Grassington. In Skipton we have a cruise along one of the most varied and scenic canals in the country with hilarious commentary from TV’s Dave Spikey. Grassington is the beating heart of the Yorkshire Dales and boasts a bustling cobbled market square fringed by unique shops. Great scenery all day.
Friday We head home on a different route and cross the south Pennines for an early lunchtime stop in Hebden Bridge. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this market town has been voted ‘greatest town in Europe’, ’best small market town in the UK’ and ‘fourth funkiest town in the world!’.
