Itinerary
Step off the bus and into literary history with a 45-minute stop in Haworth, a charming hillside village best known as the home of the Brontë sisters. At the top of the village stands the Brontë Parsonage Museum (exterior viewing only), where Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë lived and wrote their world-renowned novels. The churchyard and nearby St Michael and All Angels Church offer striking photo opportunities and a quiet moment of reflection.
Are you a cheese lover? Wensleydale Creamery is a must-visit destination for food lovers and anyone curious about Yorkshire’s rich culinary heritage. The Creamery itself is a charming mix of tradition and modern craftsmanship. From the outside, its stone buildings blend seamlessly with the landscape, while inside lies a world of flavour and history. Visitors can explore the Cheese Shop, where you can sample and buy the famous Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese, alongside a wide selection of local and artisan varieties. Whilst at the Creamery, take advantage of either the cafe or in house restaurant to sustain yourself for the rest of the day.
Step off the bus into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and experience one of the region’s most spectacular natural sights. The Hardraw Force Waterfall stop offers visitors immediate access to the stunning landscapes and rich heritage of Wensleydale. Just a short stroll from the stop, through the historic Green Dragon Inn, lies Hardraw Force – England’s highest single-drop waterfall. Hidden within a wooded gorge, this dramatic 100-foot cascade is a truly unforgettable sight. Whether it’s in full flow after rainfall or gently spilling over the edge on a quiet summer day, the waterfall offers a moment of peace and awe in equal measure. This is a photo opportunity you dont want to miss.
With its cobbled streets, stone-built shops, and vibrant local charm, Hawes is a highlight of any journey through the Yorkshire Dales. Right in the heart of town is the Hawes Market Hall, where local traders offer everything from handmade crafts and gifts to fresh produce and baked goods. Surrounding the market area are cosy tearooms, traditional pubs, and independent shops selling local art, outdoor gear, and Yorkshire treats. The backdrop is stunning: rolling hills, dry-stone walls, and the River Ure winding its way through the valley.
As the bus approaches the Ribblehead Viaduct, it spans 400 metres (1,300 feet) with 24 massive stone arches, standing proudly against the backdrop of Whernside, the highest peak in Yorkshire. Built in the 1870s for the Settle–Carlisle railway, the viaduct remains a working piece of railway history – and with a bit of luck, you may even catch a train gliding across its top.
dramatic curved limestone cliff rising 80 metres (260 feet) above the valley floor. Formed by ancient glacial waters, this striking rock formation has captivated visitors for centuries – and even made a star appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Had a wonderful day on the BusyBus, Lee the driver was so knowledgeable, I enjoyed all the information he gave us before each stop. Loved the waterfall at Hardraw Force Re: Kevin Kostner was filmed having a wash underneath the waterfall in a nude 🫣 Enjoyed the music Lee played of artists that were from Yorkshire, I love Human League, ABC and Robert Powel. It was so tranquil just watching the world go by, great views looking out of the bus window. What a great name of one of the streets in Howarth, ‘Shirley Street’ 🤣🤣 Thank you again Lee for a fab day we had in the Yorkshire Dales and Howarth 😀😀

We never had a holiday but wanted something special for my son and me. This day out was perfect! The views we seen the things we learnt were amazing! Should a fantastic place to go would definitely go again! The driver Adrian was so lovely, thoughtful and helpful. He couldn't have been faulted. He made the experience brilliant for everyone all was included and all had so much fun. The trip was very thought out , even the music and information was organised to fix when we were at certain places! Brilliant! Didn't feel like we just got on a bus and was driven around. Adrian by the end of the trip felt like a friend and I am so grateful for the way he was with my 9 year old son. The people we met were also so lovely. Would love to do a Christmas trip ! Christmas music going ! Fun and laughter! Will watch out for something like that! Thanks again busybus! We will see you again
I was lucky to be the driver for the day and really do appreaciate your comments. Your son was awesome throughout the day and quite entertaining himself! A Christmas trip does sound fun.....we will think on that and see how it would come together. We will let you know!
We went on this great trip on 30th June. Although the weather could have been kinder, it didn't stop us from having a great day out. Stuart (our driver) was so friendly and his knowledge of Yorkshire was incredible and certainly kept us entertained throughout the journey with his tales and music of Yorkshire. We passed through some beautiful countryside and little Yorkshire villages with stop offs at little tea shops and pubs !! Thank you Stuart for a wonderful day. We would certainly recommend this trip.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was a great day made more special by the wonderful clients and for that we thank you back. Come back soon!
