5.00An 8-hour day, full of stops and explorations. Ben A, our driver and guide, gave us an almost stream-of-consciousness ride, as we journeyed through the moors and up to Whitby. One of the highlights was a trip in a steam locomotive. Many insights to the land and culture of this area. Highly recommended.
