About this tour
Explore Yorkshire's moorland and coastline in an eight-hour private journey through Whitby's remote backroads. Travelling in a Mercedes-Benz V Class with Andrew, an experienced guide, you'll discover hidden corners of England's north, moving at your own pace with flexible stops. The tour balances windswept vistas, coastal charm and genuine Yorkshire character—no coach groups, no fixed itineraries, just a vehicle and someone who knows where to find the landscape worth seeing.

What to expect
You'll spend the day in a comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle navigating single-track roads and moorland routes most visitors miss. Andrew drives whilst narrating the landscape—history, geology, local stories—but the emphasis is on letting you absorb the terrain rather than lecturing. Stops are yours to request: photograph a view, stretch legs at a village, linger where the light catches the heather. The pace is deliberate, the mood unhurried. Lunch is your choice (Andrew can suggest spots), and museums or paid attractions are entirely optional add-ons if you fancy them.
Good to know
Bring layers—Yorkshire moorland weather shifts rapidly. Journey covers remote roads with variable mobile signal. Private tour means no pickup queues; timing remains flexible. Lunch not included. Nearest public transport nearby if needed.
