Find your next holiday
Get into the festive spirit in beautiful Whitby – a favourite coastal resort along the Yorkshire coast. Take in the magical atmosphere as you explore the winding streets, watch the world go by from the picturesque harbour, and be sure to visit the imposing Abbey. From here, we’ll enjoy a visit to historic York and its iconic Christmas market, where you can sample delicious festive foods and browse cosy wooden chalets brimming with hand-crafted gifts.
Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to the Royal Hotel in Whitby for three nights. We enjoy a tea, coffee or mulled wine with a festive treat on arrival to get us into the spirit of the season.
Today we enjoy a magical visit to the cathedral city of York. Step back into the Middle Ages by visiting the ‘Shambles,’ with its overhanging timber-framed houses, traditional shops and cobbled pathways. Exploring the Christmas market is a must at this time of year; treat yourself to a mulled wine in the alpine bar; find a thoughtful gift in one of the wooden stalls; and soak up the enchanting atmosphere as you wander the illuminated streets. Whilst here, be sure to take in the magnificent York Minster – one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe.
We return back to the hotel in time for our Christmas dinner, complete with a complimentary glass of wine.
Relax in Whitby, or why not join our optional excursion to the beautiful North York Moors? Our first visit is to one of the area’s prettiest villages, Thornton-le-Dale, with its thatched cottages and village green. From here, we will head to the market town of Pickering, where there will be free time to explore the cosy cafés, traditional shops and historic attractions, before ending the day in charming Helmsley – a picture-perfect Yorkshire town.
We return to the hotel for a festive cream tea.
The optional excursions will be available to book during your tour.
