Day 1 - Travel to hotel, the base for this short break
Day 2 - North Yorkshire Moors Railway
This morning you make your way to Pickering in time for your trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Goathland, better known to many as Aidensfield from the TV series 'Heartbeat'. We have allowed time here for you to explore 'the set' for yourself and perhaps even have a tipple in the Aidensfield Arms, or check out what's on offer at 'Scripps Garage'. From here you journey on (by coach) to the beautiful seaside town of Whitby, nestled in the coast and right next to the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
Day 3 - Castle Howard
Today we have arranged for you to visit Castle Howard, a magnificent 18th century house with breathtaking gardens. You are able to tour the house at your own speed, there are friendly and informative guides to answer any questions you may have. From here you make your way back to Harrogate, stopping on the way in the historic city of York where you can indulge in a spot of retail therapy, some sightseeing or simply relax over a pot of tea at 'Bettys Café Tea rooms'.
Day 4 - Depart for the journey home.
