Description

Begin your day with a visit to Hutton-le-Hole. With its charming red-roof cottages, grazing sheep, and a babbling brook, this idyllic village invites you to slow down. Enjoy a quick refreshment and a walk along the cobbled streets, or have a quick visit to the open-air Ryedale Folk Museum, featuring a range of historic buildings you can quickly see. Leaving the charm of the village behind, journey onward into the Moors. Discover the vast, open land which Alfred Wainwright called “a wilderness for the soul,” where emptiness and freedom stretch as far as the horizon. It’s no wonder this landscape has stirred the imagination for centuries and is rich with legends. Your next stop, the bustling fishing port of Whitby. It was here that Bram Stoker stayed in a hotel while writing his famous novel Dracula, drawing inspiration from the town’s dramatic cliffs, harbor, and gothic atmosphere. Have free time to wander Whitby’s cobbled streets, sample local fish and chips, explore the Abbey ruins, and soak in the moody setting that inspired Dracula. Next, head to the fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay, renowned for its charming narrow streets, historic cottages, smugglers’ tales, and breathtaking views of the North Sea. Then, enjoy a short visit to Goathland Station, famous for its appearances in Harry Potter as Hogsmeade Station. After snapping a few photos, continue your journey with stops at the legendary Hole of Horcum - said to have been created by a giant and the small, historic market town of Pickering, before returning to York.
