Itinerary

Day 1 - Outward Travel

Day 2 - North Yorkshire Moors Railway & Pickering

  • We board the lovingly restored carriages of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for a trip through the beautiful moors. Keep an eye out for the 'celebrity' station of Goathland which has featured heavily on screen in Heartbeat, Harry Potter and Downton Abbey! We arrive in Pickering where there will be free time to explore this charming market town before we return to Whitby.

Day 3 - Day at Leisure

Day 4 - Scarborough & Filey

  • Scarborough really does have it all – dramatic cliffs, prominent castle headland, historic harbour and wonderful beaches. Perhaps take a ride on the oldest funicular railway in Britain, enjoy a stroll through the gardens or enjoy some seaside fun on the award-winning beaches. We continue our day with a visit to Filey. Home to an historic promenade, impressive Edwardian architecture and a five-mile expanse of stunning beach this is a great place to explore.

Day 5 - Return Travel

Royal Whitby Hotel

This hotel offers great views of Whitby Abbey, the harbour, the old town and the wonderful beach courtesy of its cliff-top setting.
