We'll also have some free time to discover the city at leisure – wander the Shambles, visit one of the many world-class museums or relax in a tea room and watch the world go by!

Alternatively, join our optional excursion to nearby Knaresborough, a delightful, picturesque market town, perched high above the River Nidd and filled with ‘olde worlde’ charm.

Our included excursion today ventures into the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, where we call at the pretty village of Grassington. The bustling cobbled market square is fringed by shops, art galleries, pubs and tearooms.
