North York Moors Park & Whitby Day Trip

We'll meet opposite the Dean Court Hotel at the indicated time in York and begin our day trip with a scenic drive through the Vale of York.

Our first stop will be Kilburn White Horse Hill, where you'll learn about the figure carved into the hillside in the mid-19th century. Next, we'll go to Helmsley to see the medieval castle and explore the village.

The tour continues into the North York Moors National Park, passing through Hutton-le-Hole, Blakey Ridge, the highest point on the Moors, and Ralph's Cross. Following this, we'll make our way to Lealholm.

We then head to Whitby while discussing the town's history. On arrival, we'll stop at the Captain Cook statue and Whalebone arch, after which you can choose to be dropped off at the harbour or the abbey. You'll have 3 hours free to explore Whitby, including attractions like the Endeavour Experience, Captain Cook Museum, and Bark Endeavour, and you may wish to sample fish and chips at the famous Magpie Café.

The bus will then take us to Goathland, where we'll discuss the fictional locations of 'Hogsmead' from Harry Potter and 'Aidensfield' from the TV show Heartbeat.

The tour will then proceed to Hole of Horcum, before returning to York, arriving after 8 hours.
