HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

 

Harrogate   |   Knaresborough   |   Boroughbridge   |   York   |   Afternoon Tea

 

DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home and travel north to Yorkshire and the historic town of Harrogate.  Time to relax before our dinner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Harrogate and Afternoon Tea

Today we enjoy Harrogate, as you wander around the town, you’ll enjoy the festive atmosphere, and get a feel for the place, before we return to the hotel for our Afternoon Tea.  Time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY THREE – Knaresborough and Boroughbridge

This morning we visit Knaresborough; a warren of medieval streets and stone staircases weave their way up and down hill. The town centre is perched on the cliffs above the River Nidd and the imposing railway viaduct across the Nidd Gorge offers an amazing view.

The marketplace in the centre of the town offers a great place to enjoy a cup of tea or something delicious and home baked.

At the base of the cliffs on which the town sits, you will find a delightful promenade that traps the sun in summer, with a coastal feel despite being more than 60 miles from the sea.

This afternoon we visit Boroughbridge, with its thriving high street and with architecture and an air about it that sets it apart from the rest of the district, this town is a treat to explore and discover.

The pretty cobbled Hall Square was once the home of fishermen; today you will find the Butter Market Museum, an eclectic display of local artefacts, showing the history of the town’s people.

 

DAY FOUR – York

This historic city, dating back to Roman times, is bursting with history, medieval character and architectural masterpieces; not to mention the independent shops in the pretty Shambles.
