Departing from York, we’ll drive to Byland Abbey, where you’ll have time to explore the impressive ruins and learn about its rich history. Located just within the boundary of the North York Moors National Park, Byland Abbey is one of over 70 monastic ruins in Yorkshire, offering a glimpse into the region’s incredible historical significance.

 

From Byland we head through the ancient forests to the famous old market town of Helmsley. Take a little break from the bus to explore the shops, bakeries and cafes. 

Your tour will leave Helmsley and shortly you will start to ascend higher into the North York Moors National Park. Your guide will explain the region's place in Yorkshire's incredible history, including burial mounds, farming, mining and the industrial revolution and much more.

Before long you will arrive in “Heartbeat Country’’, taken from the popular 90’s TV show Heartbeat and into “Aidensfield” itself. Goathland is the real name of the charming village that was the setting for the classic show set in the 1960’s. You will get a chance for a photo in the village before proceeding to the very quaint old railway station that was used as “Hogsmeade” Station in the Harry Potter films.

We'll then carry on to the seaside town of Whitby, enjoy exploring the historic seaside town, from the fish and chips and discover the fascinating history that fills the town. From Captain Cook who set sail from Whitby on the Bark Endeavor to discover Australia or visit the iconic Abbey ruins that influenced Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
