What you can expect

  • Explore the famous area of the North York Moors National Park. Famed for the largest area of heather Moorland in England.

    Begin your day at London's Kings Cross Station and hop on a train to York. Gaze out the window as you pass through the calming English countryside with its rolling hills and bucolic landscapes.Upon arrival in York meet your local guide to start your small group tour to The North York Moors.

    Head into the North York Moors National Park where you will explore the beautiful landscapes and historical sites before heading to the coast, this tour is a day to make memories you will never forget.

    The first stop is Byland Abbey, one of Yorkshire finest ruins. It stands just inside the boundary of the North York Moors National Park. One of over 70 Monastic ruins in Yorkshire

    We then head through the ancient forests to the famous old market town of Helmsley, meaning “Helms” Flowery Meadow. Helmsley has been an important settlement for at least 1500 years
    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 regions place in history, including, burial mounds, religion, farming, mining, the industrial revolution and much more. You will be driven to places that many people don’t know of. Truly off the beaten track, down winding country lanes, through deep cut glacial valleys and up high over the brooding windswept heather moorland that covers a third of this breathtaking landscape.

    Before long you will arrive in “Heartbeat Country”, taken from the popular 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 the once doubled as “Hogsmeade” Station in the Harry Potter films.

    It is then time to join the historic North York Moors Railway for a nostalgic steam journey to the popular seaside town of Whitby. . Some will be ready for the famed fish and chips in Whitby while others will prefer to learn about Captain Cook who set sail on the Bark Endeavour to discover Australia.

    Heritage Train Journey: The heritage train journey is subject to the operating timetable. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays up to 31 October 2026, the train journey will be replaced with a visit to Whitby Abbey.
