Itinéraire
Nous nous dirigeons vers Lower Wenslydale, avec votre guide touristique vous racontant l'histoire et les caractéristiques de la région. Le premier arrêt est au bourg traditionnel de Masham dans le Lower Wensleydale, qui a obtenu sa charte de marché il y a plus de 700 ans en 1251. Ici, vous pouvez apprendre une partie de l'histoire de la ville grâce à votre guide et voir les vestiges d'un arbre croisé anglo-saxon. , datant d'environ 1300 ans, à l'église Sainte-Marie-la-Vierge, explorez les boutiques pittoresques ou dégustez simplement une bière du Yorkshire et un gâteau dans l'un des cafés de la place - à vous de choisir !
En traversant Masham Moor où les moutons errent librement parmi la bruyère et le vaste paysage ouvert sur notre chemin vers les sommets de Nidderdale. Les vues et les paysages fantastiques sur le réservoir de Gouthwaite et les kilomètres de murs en pierres sèches le rendent parfait pour de superbes arrêts photo. Nous arrivons à la ville pittoresque de Grassington, célèbre pour son rôle de ville fictive de « Darrowby » dans la nouvelle série télévisée « All Creatures Great and Small », diffusée pour la première fois en 2020. Ici, vous aurez 1,5 heure de temps libre pour explorer le boutiques, cafés et lieux de tournage ou même rendez-vous au pub Devonshire Arms (The Drovers in All Creatures Great and Small) pour prendre un verre avec les habitants !
Nous quittons Grassington et nous dirigeons vers les magnifiques chutes de Linton. Il n'est qu'à une courte distance en voiture, donc si vous préférez, vous avez la possibilité de faire une courte promenade depuis le parking du centre d'accueil sur l'ancien chemin de pierre jusqu'aux chutes de Linton et de rencontrer votre guide sur le pont au-dessus de la rivière Wharfe .
L'après-midi, nous nous arrêterons à l'abbaye de Bolton, où l'entrée est gratuite et vous pourrez explorer l'église du prieuré et les ruines du prieuré augustin du XIIe siècle dans son cadre magnifique au bord d'une rivière, ou peut-être relever le défi des tremplins si vous vous sentez plus aventureux. !
Nous quittons Bolton Abbey pour continuer notre voyage à travers les Dales en direction de York, en passant par Harrogate et en apprendre un peu plus sur l'histoire de cette célèbre ville thermale.

The scenery of the Dales was spectacular! The trip to Grassington was lovely as I’m an avid fan of All Creatures Great and Small. Our driver Chris was knowledgable, friendly and quite the historian. He also was kind and accommodating, I highly recommend this tour! It would be a great idea to add Helen’s farm into the tour.
Thank you very much, Deidre, for your wonderful five star review of our Herriot and Yorkshire Dales Day Trip from York. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spectacular scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and your visit to Grassington, which has become so well known as the filming location for Darrowby in the current television adaptation of *All Creatures Great and Small*. Thank you also for your kind words about Chris. We are pleased he helped make your day so enjoyable with his local knowledge and passion for Yorkshire's history. Thank you as well for your suggestion about including Helen's Farm. As our scheduled Herriot and Yorkshire Dales Day Trip from York has a carefully planned itinerary, we are unfortunately unable to include every filming location. However, Helen's Farm is one of the highlights of our Private *All Creatures Great and Small* Yorkshire Dales Tour, where we have the flexibility to explore even more of James Herriot country. Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Yorkshire again soon. Lucy Best of Britain – Yorkshire Day Tours

We did the Yorkshire Dales trip in June. The landscape was stunning, our driver, Chris, was friendly and knowledgeable, the bus was comfortable, and every stop was well planned. We did a similar Cotswold tour a few years ago, and we liked this even better.
Hi Melanie, Seven thumbs up is a wonderful endorsement, thank you! We are so pleased you enjoyed your Herriot and Yorkshire Dales day trip from York. June is a beautiful time to explore the Dales, and it is lovely to hear the scenery, comfortable travel, and carefully planned stops all helped make the day so memorable. It is especially nice to know that, having enjoyed a Cotswolds tour previously, you rated your Yorkshire experience even higher. We think there is something rather special about the Yorkshire Dales, and Chris will be delighted to hear his friendly approach and local knowledge added to your enjoyment of the day.
