Full description
Day 1: Travel to the Peak District. In the late morning, you will arrive in Castleton. This quaint old town attracts travelers from all over the world for its quintessential English charm. Nearby, there are caves, a beautiful view up a valley, and an insightful information center. Venture to the beautiful valley at Monsal Head. There’s an old rail line viaduct that emerges from the green hills. It’s a gorgeous structure with an impressive history. If you’re hungry, then you’re in luck, because you’re stopping for lunch in Bakewell. Not only is this town delicious to look at, but it’s also the home of one of England’s most famous desserts, the Bakewell Pudding. After savoring every last crumb, head over to Chatsworth House. This luxurious stately home is incredible; you can admire the architecture, get lost in a massive maze, or praise precious art. Finally, head off in the early evening to your overnight stop in York. Day 2: Full-day Tour of York Spend your morning in York. Visit a chocolate museum, find out about the Vikings, or just stroll around the ancient walls. Around midday, leave York and head to Goathland. This town was used in the Harry Potter movies and is situated in one of the largest expanses of heather moorland in the UK. Your next stop is Whitby. This is the type of town everyone dreams of retiring in. There’s a beautifully-located, ruined abbey; old stone steps curving around viewpoints; and a lovely little beach to play about on. After exploring all the nooks and crannies of Whitby, travel to Robin Hood’s Bay. They doubt if the real Robin Hood ever came here, but there are still plenty of smugglers tales dotted around this remarkable harbor village. Finally, arrive back in York in the early evening. Day 3: Touring, Lunch, and Returning to Manchester Take the road to Fountains Abbey. This is one of the largest ruined abbeys in England and part of an important UNESCO Heritage site. Then find yourself surrounded by some of England’s most lovely waterfalls at AysgarthEnjoy a delicious lunch of Wensleydale's famous cheese and crackers. After lunch, travel past the epic Ribblehead railway viaduct before having a short snoop around the old castle-topped town of Clitheroe. In the evening, arrive in Manchester.

The tour was well structured, the van super comfortable and overall a great experience. But, I was surprised about: 1. The first day of the itinerary is the Peak District, but we didn't see much of it. The stops are at small villages but no nature spots. Bakewell (the longest stop) is good for lunch, but would have been nicer to see the rocky cliffs of the District instead. 2. Not enough time of the most important locations! (Chatsworth House and Fountains Abbey specially!) 3. The tour might be challenging for people with mobility issues. I have bad knees and was able to climb up to Whitby Abbey, but unable to go down to Robin's Hood Bay. 4. The 1st and 2nd day you arrive at York when the shops are already closed. Would be better to plan the tour in a way that with an 8am start instead of 9:30am you enjoy the stops with less crowds, and arrive to York a bit earlier. 5. Our guide (Alan?) didn't know historical facts, only folk tales. I had to use Google to learn the dates and history.
