Begin the day with a tranquil visit to Hutton-le-Hole, an inviting village adorned with red-roofed cottages, grazing sheep, and a soothing brook. Take a stroll along the cobbled streets or perhaps pop into the open-air Ryedale Folk Museum to glimpse a collection of historical buildings.
Leaving the serenity of the village behind, embark on a journey into the expansive Moors, a landscape described by Alfred Wainwright as “a wilderness for the soul,” where freedom stretches as far as the eye can see. The adventure continues in Whitby, a bustling fishing port known for its dramatic cliffs, harbour, and gothic atmosphere. It was here that Bram Stoker found inspiration for his renowned novel Dracula.
Enjoy some free time to explore Whitby's charming streets, savour local fish and chips, delve into the Abbey ruins, and soak up the atmospheric setting that sparked Dracula. The next stop is the historic fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay. Famous for its narrow streets, historic cottages, smugglers’ tales, and awe-inspiring views of the North Sea.
Then experience a touch of magic with a brief visit to Goathland Station, noted for its appearances in Harry Potter as Hogsmeade Station. Continue exploring with stops at the legendary Hole of Horcum, said to have been created by a giant, and the small yet historic market town of Pickering, before returning to York. This journey offers an immersive experience into the rich history and beautiful landscapes of these iconic locations.
