Scarborough, Whitby and York

After boarding the accessible coach at one of our UK pick-up points, we’ll begin the journey to York. Travellers can choose to remain in their wheelchair, which will be safely secured in place, or transfer to a standard seat. On arrival at your four-star hotel located in the heart of the city, you’ll have time to settle in, before tucking into a delicious evening meal.

Following a tasty breakfast, we’ll head over to Scarborough to visit the Scarborough Fair Collection - one of Europe’s largest collections of fairground mechanical organs and showman rides. Featuring vintage cars, miniature railways and vintage fairground attractions, the collection offers a nostalgic look back on popular entertainment and transport over the last few centuries. In the afternoon, we’ll break for lunch at the tearooms and enjoy live entertainment featuring authentic dance organs from the 1800s and a cream tea. After, we’ll take some time out to stroll or roll along Scarborough Prom and browse the many shops that line the harbour-front. Reinvigorated by the fresh sea breeze, we’ll make our way back to the hotel for a fantastic dinner.

York is one of England’s most stunning and historically rich cities. Known to the Romans as Eboracum, the Saxons called it Eoforwick, and the Vikings, who initially came as invaders but settled here, named it Jorvik. York’s more recent history has also left its mark, with landmarks like the iconic York Minster, medieval architecture, grand Georgian townhouses, and its impressive Victorian railway station. Today, you’ll explore this rich heritage. After breakfast, a short five-minute walk will take the group to York Minster, where you can marvel at its breathtaking Gothic design.

York is not only famous for its rich history and stunning architecture but also for its sweet and chocolate-making heritage. The Rowntree family, in particular, played a major role in shaping York’s chocolate legacy. After exploring some of the city’s beautiful landmarks, you’ll visit one of its renowned chocolate shops, where you’ll learn about the chocolate-making process and even have the chance to create your own custom chocolate bar.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, we’ll set off on a picturesque journey to the scenic coastal town of Whitby. Our route will take us through the stunning, heather-covered hills of the North York Moors National Park, offering breathtaking views of Yorkshire’s most beautiful countryside—a perfect start to the day.

Upon arriving in Whitby, we’ll begin our visit at Pannett Park, a charming green space perched on a hill, providing wonderful views over the town. This beautiful park was generously gifted to the community by a local benefactor and continues to be lovingly maintained for all to enjoy. With its network of winding footpaths, scenic viewpoints, and tranquil gardens, it’s an ideal spot to explore.

The park also leads to the fascinating Whitby Museum, where you’ll have the chance to delve into the rich history of the town. Both the park and museum are fully wheelchair accessible, ensuring everyone can comfortably take part in the experience.

In the afternoon, we’ll head to Whitby’s bustling seafront for a leisurely stroll and a chance to soak up the coastal charm. No visit to Whitby would be complete without sampling its famous fish and chips—make sure to treat yourself to this delicious local specialty before we wrap up our day in this iconic seaside town!
