Day One

We travel across the Pennines to West Yorkshire and the delightful historic village of Haworth. Explore the olde-worlde shops and quaint cobbled streets, see the Parsonage where the Bronte sisters grew up and wrote most of their famous works including Wuthering Heights. In the afternoon we have a steam train ride on the Keighley and Worth Valley railway travelling from Haworth to Keighley. Then we board our coach and travel on to Leeds for an overnight stay at the Hilton Leeds City Hotel with the remainder of the afternoon and evening at leisure to enjoy the bustling city of Leeds.

Day Two

We check out this morning and travel to the city of York where we have an included sightseeing cruise on the River Ouse followed by free time to explore. Stroll around the delightful old cobbled streets with their half- timbered houses and marvel at the masterpiece of York Minster, the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. The museums are excellent and there is a fantastically varied shopping area, you’ll find it no wonder that York has been labelled as England’s finest historic city. We commence our homeward journey in the late afternoon.
