Cave Castle, York & The Yorkshire Coast

Day 1

We travel north, making a comfort stop en route, arriving at the Cave Castle Hotel at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds in good time for tea and scones before settling to dinner.

Day 2

We join our coach for the scenic drive to York, one of those special cities. It is compact, offering lots of museums, independent shops aplenty, the lovely institution that is Betty's and an almost complete city wall. That's not all though, as the Minster is a sight to behold, one of this country's greatest ecclesiastical landmarks. You can also lose yourself in York's 'snickleways' the alleys in the old town, not least the beautiful cobbled 'Shambles'. We also include a river cruise on the Ouse to give you a different perspective from the water.

Day 3

Close to our hotel is the historic market town of Beverley, the county town of Yorkshire's East Riding and home to another spectacular Minster. It is well worth our half day visit.

Day 4

Today's excursion adds contrast to our stay we decided to venture to Bridlington the Yorkshire coast for some traditional, old-fashioned seaside fun. There are miles of sandy beach, a charming little road train leading from 'Brid' to Sewerby Park along the coast and the mighty Flamborough Head dominating from the north, now very much a haven for nature.

Day 5

It's time to return home with memories of our castle hotel stay.
