• Masham - Embark on a journey to Lower Wensleydale, where the Tour Guide will share insights into the area’s rich history and attractions. The first destination is the historic market town of Masham, which received its market charter in 1251, over 700 years ago. Visitors can delve into the town’s past with the guide, view the remnants of an Anglo-Saxon cross shaft, estimated to be 1300 years old, at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, browse charming shops, or simply relax with a Yorkshire tea and cake at one of the cafes in the square – the choice is yours!
• Grassington - Travel across Masham Moor, where sheep graze freely among the heather and expansive landscapes, en route to Nidderdale. The breathtaking views over Gouthwaite Reservoir and the miles of drystone walls offer perfect photo opportunities. Arrive at the scenic town of Grassington, known for its portrayal as ‘Darrowby’ in the 2020 television series ‘All Creatures Great and Small.’ Enjoy 1.5 hours of free time to explore the shops, cafes, and filming locations, or visit the Devonshire Arms pub (The Drovers in the series) for a drink with the locals!
• Linton Falls - Depart from Grassington and head to the stunning Linton Falls. It’s a short drive, but if preferred, take a brief walk from the Visitor Centre car park along the old stone path to the falls at Linton and meet the guide on the bridge over the River Wharfe.
• Bolton Abbey - The main afternoon stop is at Bolton Abbey, where entry is free. Explore the Priory Church and the ruins of the 12th Century Augustinian Priory in its picturesque riverside setting, or take on the stepping stones challenge if you’re feeling adventurous!
