Start the day in Whitby where you'll have time to wander along the quaint alleyways and maybe treat yourself to fish and chips for lunch. Whitby boasts two excellent beaches, a choice of lengthy piers and a bustling harbour, all of which are lovely spots for a fresh autumn stroll. 

This afternoon, climb aboard for a nostalgic train journey through 24 miles of endless scenery, all the way from Whitby to Pickering on this carefully preserved heritage line that celebrated its 50th anniversary last year! The line runs all the way through the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, passing through timeless stations along the way. A wonderful experience, not to be missed.

We're due to arrive in Whitby at 12:00, setting down on Langbourne Road. At 13:50 we'll meet back at Whitby Station for our 14:10 train to Pickering. We're due to arrive at Pickering's 1930s themed station at 15:50 and we'll head home at 17:00 after enjoying some free time here. The coach will depart from Pickering bus lay-by on The Ropery. There will be a services comfort stop on the outward and return journey. Please let us know if you use a walking aid / wheelchair so that we can inform the railway.
