This excursion from York provides the opportunity to visit the award winning World of James Herriot Centre in Thirsk (admission included) together with the picturesque North York Moors Market Town of Helmsley and the Sutton Bank National Park Centre in the heart of "Herriot Country" to experience the view that Alf Wight (James Herriot is the pen name used by James Alfred "Alf" Wight for his series of books) described as "England's finest view". The trip concludes with a scenic drive through the Howardian Hills back to York, with a photo stop overlooking Castle Howard.
The tour departs from near York Minster and heads out of the city into the Vale of York.
The first stop is in Thirsk for your visit to the World of James Herriot Centre (admission included) to see where the world's most famous vet lived, worked and relaxed. You will see his home and surgery and travel back in time to see what life was like when James was a vet in Yorkshire. You can see the car that he drove, step into the TV set of "All Creatures Great and Small", try your hand at being a vet and experience what it was like to hide in a World War 2 air raid shelter! You will also visit the nearby St. Mary's Church where Alf and Joan Wight married in 1941.
After Thirsk, you will head onto the North York Moors to the traditional market town of Helmsley, stopping en-route at the Sutton Bank National Park Centre to take photographs from the spot that Alf Wight described as the finest view in England.
There is a one hour stop in Helmsley and it is Market Day so you can browse the stalls and local produce of a traditional English Market, view the medieval castle, explore the quaint shops or just have lunch - the choice is yours!
You will then be able to just sit back and enjoy the views on the scenic route back to York through the Howardian Hills, with a photo stop en-route overlooking Castle Howard.
The tour arrives back at the meeting point in York at around 2.30pm but you should not book onward travel arrangements too close to the time of arrival back in York just in case of traffic problems.
