From York: Yorkshire Dales Small-Group Day Tour｜United Kingdom

Discover the beauty of Yorkshire Dales National Park - the land full of wild beauty and pastoral charm, where sweeping hills, rugged moorland, and dreamy valleys roll stretch as far as the eye can see.

Your first stop is the picturesque village of Pateley Bridge, nestled between rolling hills and wild moors. This delightful spot encourages you to slow your pace and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Stroll cobbled lanes edged with stone cottages and classic pubs, or wander into England’s Oldest Sweet Shop to sample nostalgic confections delighting visitors since 1827.

From there, continue to the market town of Grassington, a place that feels lifted straight from the pages of a fairytale. Often called the “beating heart of the Yorkshire Dales". The drive carries on through the breathtaking Dales to Hawes, a welcoming market town best known as the home of legendary Wensleydale Cheese. Enjoy free time for lunch and be sure to wander Hawes’ inviting streets.

Next, visit Aysgarth Falls, a dramatic three-tiered cascade admired for more than two centuries and famously featured in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Your day concludes at the evocative ruins of Jervaulx Abbey, where the quiet echoes of history drift through this 12th-century Cistercian monastery.

After a day filled with the landscapes, flavours, and stories of the Yorkshire Dales, you make your way back to York.
