Excursions

Your Itinerary:

FULL DAY: Settle - Carlisle Railway, returning by coach
A scenic delight this morning as we head to the small town of Settle. Here we board our train for the stunning Settle to Carlisle rail journey - regarded as one of the finest rail journeys in Europe.

FULL DAY: Skipton and cruise on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal
Today we head for Skipton to explore the colourful market. From the popular Canal Basin, we join our boat cruise on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal for a lively and fascinating journey through history - including a relaxing cup of Yorkshire tea!

FULL DAY: Harrogate & Knaresborough
Harrogate evolved as one of the country’s premier spa towns following the discovery of medicinal waters, and the grandeur of yesteryear still remains amid the beautifully preserved buildings and the famous parks and gardens. Harrogate is a favourite tourist destination to this day with many iconic things to do and see – including Betty’s world-famous Tea Rooms! Then onto Knaresborough a charming market town nestled in the picturesque Nidderdale Valley with its ruined medieval castle, beautiful viaduct nidd gorge and well-preserved architecture and historic buildings.
