Grassington

We arrive in Grassington, the ‘heart of the Yorkshire Dales’ and the real-life setting for Darrowby in All Creatures Great & Small. And just a short five-minute walk from the car park, you'll find the beauty of Linton Falls. If there's been plenty of rain (it is the UK, after all), you'll hear their thunderous call as you approach. You have free time in Grassington to explore and grab a bite to eat.

Duration 90 minutes

This three-tiered waterfall has attracted visitors for over 200 years, including notable figures like poet William Wordsworth and painter JMW Turner. It may also look familiar from the movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Wensleydale Creamery

We arrive at Wensleydale Creamery, custodians of a 1000-year-old heritage. From their iconic, creamy, crumbly classic Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese to the rich, buttery flavours of Fountains Gold, this is a cheese-lovers dream.

Duration 45 minutes

Ribblehead Viaduct

A proud display of Victorian engineering, this impressive statement structure has incredible views of the Three Peaks mountains. After a few photos and a bit of awe, you jump back on the bus and head back to Manchester, arriving in the early evening.
