Yorkshire Railways & Historic York

With its tranquil valleys, windswept moors, undulating hills and picturebook farmland, the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales is best explored by train! There’s something special about relaxing in a vintage carriage, pottering through tunnels and over viaducts, hearing the unmistakable sounds of steam travel and gazing out at stunning quintessentially English scenery. On this break we are treated to nostalgic experiences aboard both the preserved Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway and the Settle-Carlisle Railway, two of the most picturesque journeys in the country. We explore the past, present and future of British railways at the National Railway Museum in York too, and also have time to discover the highlights of this historic city.
