Whitby – Steam Trains and Vintage Carousels

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to the coastal town of Whitby for a seven-night stay.

A city with Roman roots and a Viking past, with ancient walls, independent shops and quaint tea rooms, York is always a great place to visit.

Stroll along the Shambles and admire the architecture of the impressive Minster, learn more about its gruesome past at the Dungeons, or cruise along the river.

Yesterday we explore the moors from the tracks – the perfect way to admire the scenery! Today we explore the towns a little closer, calling at some of the prettiest villages in the are such as Thornton-le-Dale and Pickering.

Why not join us for our optional excursion to Scarborough? Beneath the resort's prominent headlands thrives a colourful fishing community and sophisticated holiday resort.

A day to explore Whitby at your own pace – why not uncover some of the town's connection with Dracula and Captain Cook, or admire the abbey ruins?

Today's excursion includes a journey aboard the lovingly resorted carriages of North Yorkshire Moors Railway which rolls through the picturesque countryside. We also visit the interesting Ryedale Folk Museum, nestled in the beautiful village of Hutton-le-Hole and offering a unique glimpse of the past.

After a morning at leisure, we visit the fantastic Scarborough Fair Collection this afternoon which features a magnificent collection of vintage cars, steam engines, vintage fairground rides and mechanical organs, and is famous for its ballroom and sequence dance afternoons.
