Yorkshire Coast & Country

Yorkshire's warmest welcome awaits you in North Yorkshire.  The mighty castle towers over the impressive headland in Scarborough and in its shadow the town has grown up around the bustling harbour.

Historic charm and scenic splendour surround the beautiful Yorkshire coastline and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park is just minutes away. A nostalgic ride on the North Yorkshire Railway with a  visit to the pretty fishing port of Whitby is included as well as entrances to Helmsley Walled Garden and the James Herriot Museum. New for 2024 – the base for this break is in pretty Bridlington.
