Meet opposite the Dean Court Hotel at 9 am in York. The trip begins with a drive through Strensall, Sheriff Hutton, and Hovingham.

First, visit Hutton-le-Hole for traditional houses and the village common. Then, proceed over the North York Moors to Blakey Ridge and Ralph's Cross before arriving in Whitby. A guide will provide insights into the town’s history.

You will have 2 hours and 30 minutes to explore Whitby and key attractions such as the Endeavour Experience, Captain Cook Museum, Bark Endeavour, and Whitby Abbey. Consider trying fish and chips at the renowned Magpie Café. Alternative drop-offs in Whitby include the Harbour or the Abbey.

There is an option to ride the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, with the train departing Whitby at 2 pm for a 45-minute journey around Grosmont and Goathland. This option requires payment on the day. Alternatively, the bus will take you to Goathland, focusing on locations from 'Hogsmead' and 'Aidensfield' on a popular British TV show.

The tour continues to Snod Hill to learn about the RAF Fylingdales Pyramid and the Hole of Horcum. Return to York, enjoying views of the Howardian Hills and Howard Castle, concluding the tour at the meeting point by 5:15 pm.
