What to expect
Yorkshire
Heading up North with a midmorning break in the Yorkshire Dales National Park OR just over the county border in the historied and important English county of Durham.
Northumberland
We then head into some of the wildest and most starkly beautiful terrain & landscape England has to offer, before arriving at Hadrian’s Wall, OR we may explore the wonderful Northumberland coastline and its tiny coastal villages and mighty castles or we can divert via the Lake District National Park. It's a private tour and I am happy to discuss the best options when I meet you on the morning of travel. The decision is primarily based on your preference and weather, there are often big differences in weather on the West and East coast sides of the United Kingdom that should always be factored in for the very best day together.
We typically stop somewhere along the 74 mile length of Hadrians wall, Hadrians wall is a UNESCO world heritage site and allows you to see some of the most extraordinary Roman ruins on Earth set amongst a rugged and awe inspiring scenery. We also have the option of going to Vindolandia, Vindolandia is a deserted Roman Fortress town a couple of miles away from the wall. There is a small entry charge at Vindolandia of £9.25 for adults and £5.50 for children. This only is payed should you decide you wish to visit Vindolandia.
Scottish Borders
We wend our way through the incredible landscape of the Scottish Borders on our way up to Edinburgh. Mountains, Castles, commanding views and coast are all visible as we make swift progress on our way to Scotland's Majestic capital and our final destination Edinburgh.
This is a 'Transfer Tour' the tour finishes in Edinburgh. Guests need to have accommodation booked in Edinburgh. We Do Not Return to York!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
