Day 1 Meet your coach at your selected pick-up point and travel to Belfast to join the early morning ferry crossing to Cairnryan. On arrival in Scotland, we continue our journey towards Penrith with a stop at the Caledonia Park Outlet Village for some free time before re-joining your coach to continue the journey to your hotel in Bradford, arriving late afternoon. Check-in, relax, and freshen up before dinner.

Day 2 This morning after breakfast, join your coach as we visit Bolton Abbey. The abbey and ruined priory are set in a beautiful and tranquil location alongside the river Wharfe, surrounded by moorland, woodland, and riverside – a truly inspirational setting. We have time for a stroll through this beautiful landscape, part of the estate of the Duke of Devonshire. Afterwards, we will travel to enjoy a steam train ride along the delightful Worth Valley, Oxenhope to Keithley return following the locations used in the film ‘The Railway Children’. before we will return to the hotel in time for dinner.
