Heritage Tour
For all you devotees of the “golden age” of travel, we are very pleased that Granville will be back with his 1946 Leyland Tiger bus. The Heritage Tour will do the usual trips to Rievaulx Abbey and Hutton le Hole via Gillamoor and the ‘surprise view’. Granville will also once again wind his way along the scenic tour round to Castle Howard via Byland Abbey and Coxwold, returning via Terrington and Slingsby. There will be a morning and afternoon run. The heritage Tour will operate every Sunday in July and August, including the Summer Bank Holiday on the 31st.
