The North York Moors Tour: 2009

You are invited to join fellow Y owners on a 3 night tour of the North York Moors during August 2009. Based at The Worsely Hotel in the delightful village of Hovingham, participants will gather during Sunday, 16^th August in time for cocktails and dinner, followed by distribution of the Tour Documentation.

Hovingham is an old Moors village, dating from Roman times and listed in the Doomsday Book. It is the home of the Worsely family – at Hovingham Hall – and still has its village shops, pub and church as one would expect!

The North York Moors is one of just 12 National Parks in England & Wales, which will be celebrating the 60^th Anniversary of the “National Parks & Access to the Countryside Act, 1949” which was the legislation creating all of our National Parks!

The Worsely Hotel dates from the 1840’s and offers a total of just 19 rooms. Secure parking is available and the Hotel has a pleasant bar and attractive gardens available

The Tour will include scenic runs of around 75 miles a day. One day through the Eastern Moors, including ancient Abbeys, multiple photo opportunities and a wealth of characteristic villages. A further day will be spent in the Northern Moors and will include travel on one of the country’s most extensive preserved steam railways – The North York Moors Railway. Along its route the Railway stops at Grosmont, and Goathland – a.k.a. Aidensfield in TV’s Heartbeat before arriving at the market town of Pickering.

An opportunity will be given for a shorter final day’s Tour ending at the Museum at Eden Camp near Malton.

Dates: Sunday 16^th August – Wednesday 19^th August (3 nights at hotel, depart on Wednesday)

Costs: Accommodation for the three nights in Twin/double rooms; full breakfast and dinner each evening (Sunday, Monday & Tuesday) per person will be Ł165.00 This cost is based on 2 persons sharing.

Inclusive costs for steam travel, Museum/entrance fees are to be determined but will be most realistic ‘cost based’ prices.

Reservations: Immediate action is suggested, the Touring party is growing rapidly by word of mouth and, of course, by reputation gained on the 2004 Tour to the Yorkshire Dales!

Contact: Andrew or Arlene Coulson to register interest; deposits will be required in early March (or even earlier!) and final numbers will be closed at the Spring Run in May.

Don’t delay! The Tour may just have to depart without you!
