Today's excursion showcases the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Our first stop is bustling Skipton on market day, a historic market town celebrated for its medieval castle, characterful high street and scenic canal. We then continue to pretty Grassington, which fans of 'All Creatures Great and Small' will recognise as the fictional Darrowby, with time to explore its familiar filming locations, including The Devonshire, which doubles as The Drovers Arms. This afternoon, we call at Ripon, where the magnificent cathedral has welcomed visitors for more than 1,350 years, before returning for another delightful evening of dancing.
