The tour continues into the North York Moors National Park, heading through Hutton-le-Hole past Blakey Ridge, the highest point on the Moors, and Ralph's Cross. Following this, we will proceed to Lealholm.

We will then head to Whitby while discussing the town's history. Upon arrival, we will stop at the Captain Cook statue and Whalebone arch. You can choose to be dropped off at the harbour or the abbey, followed by 3 hours to explore Whitby and its attractions, including the Endeavour Experience, Captain Cook Museum, and Bark Endeavour. Sampling fish and chips at the Magpie Café is recommended.

Afterwards, the bus will take us to Goathland, where we will learn about the fictional locations of 'Hogsmead' from Harry Potter and 'Aidensfield' from Heartbeat.
