Included excursion, which takes us first to Castle Howard, Yorkshire’s finest stately home, which dates back over 300 years, set in a thousand acres of landscaped parkland. Admire the ornamental 18th century walled vegetable garden, take a woodland walk past temples, lakes and fountains, or marvel at the luxurious interior with its beautiful frescoes, paintings and statues.

We later head to York and spend the rest of the day in this delightful walled city on the banks of the River Ouse. Although dating back to 71AD when the Romans built a fortress, it was a later invaded by the Danes in 867, who gave the city its Viking name, Jorvik, from which York is derived.

Immerse yourself in the quaint historical charm, with cobbled streets and huddled houses which have hardly changed since the 14th century. Admire the gothic splendour of York Minster and browse the medieval shopping streets of Stonegate and the Shambles. Explore the vast array of antique shops craft stores and elegant boutiques or just watch the world go by over a well earned pot of tea in one of the many quaint cafés.
