Dagtrip naar Moors, Whitby en de Yorkshire Steam Railway vanuit York
Beschrijving
Deze begeleide dagtrip met kleine groepen vanuit York biedt de mogelijkheid om het schilderachtige en pittoreske North York Moors National Park te verkennen, meer dan twee uur te genieten in de badplaats Whitby en een rit met de stoomtrein te maken op de North Yorkshire Moors Railway (optioneel extra ter plaatse betaald op de dag)! Je zult ook de traditionele Engelse heidedorpen Hutton-le-Hole en Goathland (de filmlocatie van Heartbeat en Harry Potter) ervaren en terugreizen naar York door de Howardian Hills, langs Castle Howard. In Whitby kun je Whitby Abbey zien (inspiratie voor de Dracula-boeken), de Captain Cook-attracties bezoeken, winkelen voor Whitby Jet of Gothic Fashion, Fish & Chips proeven van het beroemde Magpie Café of gewoon genieten van de bruisende haven en waterkant - de keuze is aan jou! Geniet van persoonlijke aandacht van je gids tijdens deze minibustour met kleine groepen, beperkt tot 16 personen.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Je gaat op weg naar de Vale of York en leert over het leven in Yorkshire terwijl je door de dorpen Strensall, Sheriff Hutton en Hovingham loopt. De eerste stop is in het traditionele National Park-dorp Hutton-le-Hole, waar u kunt dwalen tussen de traditionele stenen huizen en schapen die rondlopen op het gemeenschappelijke dorp, of gewoon een ontspannen Yorkshire Brew in een van de cafés - de keuze is aan jou!
We gaan over de North York Moors voor een aantal fotostops, passeren de 16e-eeuwse Lion Inn op Blakey Ridge (het hoogste punt op de Moors) en Ralph's Cross, vervolgens door de schilderachtige en pittoreske Yorkshire dorpjes die naar Whitby leiden. Bij aankomst in Whitby hoort u verhalen over de geschiedenis van de badplaats en vertelt uw gids u over de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden die u misschien wilt bezoeken.
Je hebt twee en een half uur vrije tijd in Whitby (twee uur als je de stoomtreinoptie neemt), met opties om de nieuwste attractie van Whitby te bezoeken, The Endeavour Experience (een van de slechts twee replica's op ware grootte van de HM Bark Endeavour die er bestaat ), het Captain Cook Museum, maak een replica boottocht op de Bark Endeavor-schaal rond de haven, bekijk Whitby Abbey (inspiratie voor de Dracula-boeken) of verken gewoon de winkels en de markt van de badplaats en ervaar Fish & Chips van het beroemde Magpie Café - de keuze is aan jou!
Als u liever wat minder tijd in Whitby doorbrengt en van de gelegenheid gebruik maakt om met een stoomtrein op de North Yorkshire Moors Railway te reizen tegen onze speciale kortingstarieven, kunt u aan boord gaan van de trein van 14.00 uur vanuit Whitby voor de 45 minuten durende heidevelden treinreis door Grosmont naar Goathland (Hogsmeade Station in de Harry Potter-films), waar u weer deelneemt aan de Minicoach. Deze optie wordt op de dag ter plaatse betaald zonder vooraf te reserveren.
We bereiken het station van Goathland op tijd om de andere passagiers te zien aankomen met de stoomtrein en leren dan over "Hogsmeade", voordat we het fictieve dorp "Aidensfield" in de televisieserie Heartbeat verkennen en misschien een ijsje uit de dorpswinkel halen.
We verlaten Goathland en hebben nog een paar fotostops terwijl je de geschiedenis leert achter de mysterieuze RAF Fylingdales-piramide op Snod Hill en het gat van Horcum.
We gaan terug naar York door de Howardian Hills met een panoramisch uitzicht op Castle Howard.

It was a great trip! We were very comfortable with Vince as a guide. Wonderful views over the moors, a nice visit to Whitby, and good restaurant recommendations! And a memorable railroad ride to Goathland / Aidensield in the end.
Thank you very much, Triin, for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the North York Moors, your visit to Whitby, and the memorable journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Goathland, famous as Aidensfield in Heartbeat. We did notice that you mentioned Vince as your guide. We believe you may have accidentally mixed us up with another tour operator, as none of our driver-guides are called Vince. We completely understand how easy it is to do after a busy trip, but if this review was intended for another company, you may wish to update it so they receive the recognition they deserve. If, however, you travelled with Best of Britain – Yorkshire Day Tours, we are very grateful that you chose to spend the day with us and hope to welcome you back to Yorkshire again in the future. Kind regards, Lucy Best of Britain – Yorkshire Day Tours
Mark was a very knowledgeable tour guide (and remembered names immediately!). He was kind, efficient, gave great advice about things like bathrooms when arriving at each location, and was very clear about meet up places and times. He took us to many great spots throughout the moors and Whitby.
