In this tour we combine visits to two of North Yorkshires most popular destinations, York & Harrogate, with plenty of free time to explore them both. We also visit RHS Harlow Carr, one of Yorkshires most relaxing and innovative gardens.
Day 1
Travel to Yorkshire
Arrive at the Majestic Hotel in Harrogate at your leisure during the afternoon. A welcome drink will be served this evening before dinner
Day 2
York
Today we travel to York, an historic city surrounded by 13th-century walls. Make your way through the medieval web of narrow streets to the immense, awe-inspiring York Minster, surely one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in the world. Visit Clifford’s Tower, originally built by William the Conqueror, or York Castle Museum with an authentically recreated Victorian Street. Don’t miss the remarkable Shambles, York’s most famous street, with overhanging timber-framed buildings, and the ‘snickelways’ that lead off it.
York visitor attraction admissions can be included at a supplement.
Day 3
Harrogate and RHS Harlow Carr
This morning we stay close to home with time to explore Harrogate. Take a stroll through Valley Gardens or indulge in some retail therapy and discover the many independent shops and boutiques. Perhaps rest your legs with a cup of tea and a slice of cake at the famous Betty’s Café Tea Rooms.
This afternoon, a coach will meet us at the hotel to take us to RHS Harlow Carr. This 58-acre garden site features much to delight any gardener, including streamside planting, a Kitchen Garden, Scented Garden and much more.
