Join us on this tour to the premier English coastal resort of Scarborough, with its two glorious bays and fine gardens. For television fans we visit the home of ‘Brideshead Revisited’ and the setting for ‘Heartbeat’s Aidensfield’. We also take in Whitby and Bridlington and sample the history and the ale of this beautiful corner of Yorkshire.

ITINERARY

Day 1 After your taxi pick up, we travel north to Yorkshire making suitable refreshment stops along the way, arriving in time for dinner.

Day 2 We head to the village of Cropton, on the edge of the moors, where we visit the Cropton Brewery for a half pint of traditional local ale. We then visit Ryedale Folk Museum at Hutton-le-Hole, Yorkshire’s leading open air museum with delightful insight into the lives of ordinary people.

Day 3 A free day to discover Scarborough.

Day 4 This morning we take the Southern Moors Road to Pickering where we join the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Goathland (The setting for Aidensfield in Heartbeat). We then make our way by coach to Whitby, where we will have some free time. We return to the hotel having spent the day in the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Moors.

For over 300 years this palatial stately home has commanded its position over the Howardian Hills and will be recognised as the setting for TV’s ‘Brideshead Revisited’.
