We'll meet in Duncombe Place at the time indicated in York and set off westbound towards the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Our first stop will be Bolton Castle, Wensleydale's most famous landmark, where Mary Queen of Scots once resided. Learn about the area's history, admire views, and enjoy traditional Yorkshire tea.

On the way to our next stop, we'll drive through scenic Askrigg, the fictional village of Darrowby from James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small.

The tour continues to Hawes, where we will spend one hour and thirty minutes exploring. You can visit the Wensleydale Creamery Visitor Centre to sample handcrafted cheeses, see The Dales Countryside Museum, and browse the market town's shops. Following Hawes, we will head into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, passing through charming villages alongside the River Wharfe and making several photo stops.

We'll stop at Kettlewell, known for the Calendar Girls film, to explore or enjoy a drink at a local pub. Then we'll continue through the countryside to Kilnsey Crag, Grassington, and Nidderdale.

Our final stop will be Pateley Bridge, home to the Guinness Book of Records 'Oldest Sweet Shop in the World'.

We'll arrive back in York after 8 hours.
