Itinerary

From a pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to our hotel in time for dinner.

After breakfast, we journey to the village of Grosmont for an unforgettable journey behind the legendary Flying Scotsman, one of the world’s most iconic steam locomotives, famed for its record-breaking speed and elegant design. Our scenic trip takes us along the charming heritage line of the popular North Yorkshire Moors Railway, the best way to experience the region's beautiful landscapes, winding through picturesque countryside and quaint villages.

We disembark at the 1930s-themed station of Pickering for some free time, featuring a magnificent roof structure, recently re-instated in the same design as the 1847 original. After admiring the station, you may like to visit the town's historic market, held every Monday and packed with local produce, crafts, clothes and more, or browse the independent shops at Market Place. The Beck Isle Museum is a fascinating place to delve into Pickering's heritage, while the ancient castle is well worth a look too, originally built by William the Conqueror. We then re-join the train and make our way back to Grosmont, where we continue our journey home.

Accommodation

We’ll stay at a well-appointed hotel (JG3 or JG4 rating). All rooms are en suite and other facilities include a bar and restaurant.

Your hotel will be confirmed approximately 3 weeks before departure, therefore we cannot guarantee that the hotel will have a lift and/or ground floor rooms and may be unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

Hotel Rating

Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.

Accommodation in our JG4 category is of an even higher standard, typically offering a wide range of facilities and services. Bedrooms are designed to make your stay the most comfortable possible and the staff provide a service that reflects the detail and quality. You can also expect higher standards of food and beverages.
