MOORS, BEER, STEAM & SEASIDE This
tour takes a similar format to our last Lakeland Explorer, returning to a
very attractive area of the UK where many new micro-breweries have sprung up
since our last visit in 2006. The county of North Yorkshire is huge and you
may be amazed to see that our first call is south of the Humber, adjacent to
Lincolnshire and further south than its South and East Yorkshire neighbours! Scarborough
itself is a very attractive town with two sandy bays, two cliff lifts,
many gardens and some fine buildings. Friday 13th April 2012 The
group will travel by the 9:03 East Coast train from London Kings Cross via
Peterborough to Doncaster, due 10:40. The day’s programme will be as follows: We
arrive at Doncaster station and set off in our private coach around 10:50 for
our first stop – a visit to the Great
Heck Brewing Company situated in Main Street, Hanwinn
House, Great Heck. After this tour, we are off to
Tockwith’s Marston Moor Business Park for a tour of the Rudgate Brewery, brewers of a previous
Champion Beer of Britain – the luscious Ruby Mild. The visit includes lunch
and drinks. After
lunch, we depart for the Yorkshire Heart Brewery
in Frank Lane, Nun Monkton, York, naturally with included
samples. Our final stop is at the Storyteller
Brewery at the Bay Horse Inn which is in Main Street,
Terrington. Of course there will be included samples. After
this full day, we set off at 18:00 for the transfer to the Grand Hotel
Scarborough where we’ll check in around 19:15. Dinner will be served at
20:00. Saturday 14th April 2012 Breakfast
is served between 7:30 and 9:00, following which we’ll set off for our first
visit of the day – the North
Riding Brew Pub at 161-163 North Marine Road, Scarborough.
This visit will include the usual generous samples. Being
a Crookham Travel trip, we cannot miss the opportunity to travel on the fine North Bay Railway. This miniature railway
has been running since 1931 between Northstead Manor Gardens and Scalby
Mills. Following this, we’ll visit the Old Scalby Mills pub. There will be
plenty of time for you to take lunch where you wish. We
will continue using public transport by taking a bus transfer to Scarborough
town; walk to the station for the 14:54 train to Filey. Here we’ll be going
to the East Coast Brewing Company at 3 Clay
House Yard to the rear of Mitford Street, Filey. There should also be time to
visit the Bonhommes Bar on the Crescent at Filey.
At the end of the day, we’ll take the train at 17:25 back to Scarborough arrive
17:43 in time for a pint before dinner which is served at 19:30. Sunday April 15th 2012 Breakfast
is served from 8:00 and we’ll take our coach at 10:00 to Whitby. We will have
plenty of time to explore this extremely interesting town where you will have
time to take lunch and a pint or two. We will be leaving on the 14:40 steam
train to Pickering travelling on the North
Yorkshire Moors Railway. One of our most impressive preserved railways,
the North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs through 18 miles of some of the most
beautiful scenery in Britain. We’ll
be leaving Pickering station by coach for a visit to the New Inn and Cropton Brewery, Woolcroft, Cropton.
Following this, we are going to the Anvil Inn, Main Street, Sawdon where the first pint is included. The coach will
then take us back to the hotel for dinner at 20:00 Monday April 16th 2012 After
breakfast, which is served from 7:30, we will check out and depart by coach
at 9:30. Today we cross some stunning scenery when we cross the whole of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park
(south to north) to the first stop the Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge, 1400 feet
above sea level and the fourth highest in England. As usual, the first pint
will be included. After
this, we’ve a visit to the North Yorkshire
Brewing Company, Pinchinthorpe Hall. Next, the Stokesley Brewing Company at the Wainstones Brewery in Stokesley beckons. As we
will have had a good breakfast, a late lunch will then be taken at the Captain Cook Brewery which is to be
found at the White Swan, 1, West End, Stokesley. As well as lunch, the first
pint will be included. Our
final stop on this fully packed weekend is the Cleveland Bay (GBG), 718 Yarm
Road, Eaglescliffe. Your first pint is of course
included. Sadly,
we must now depart so we will head to Darlington Station for the 18:23 train
to Stevenage 20:26 and London Kings Cross, due 20:55 where the tour ends. |
