King George III came to Weymouth
in the late eighteenth century and
the fine Georgian terraces still line
the wide Esplanade today. Quaint
little back streets wind around the
old harbour, and the magnificent
sweep of Weymouth Bay offers
golden sands and fine, safe bathing.
Traditional delights of the English
seaside, award winning parks and
gardens, fun craft and souvenir
shops, regular entertainment in the
Pavillion complex and the lovely
Dorset countryside on the doorstep
– this tour has it all!
Monday We leave home to make our way to
Weymouth where we spend the next 4 nights with
dinner bed and breakfast. We arrive in time to
explore this wonderful seaside town.
Tuesday A full day scenic excursion along the
Dorset coast to Devon. Stopping along the way
at attractive Lyme Regis where Meryl Streep
stood on the harbour pier in the film ‘The French
Lieutenant’s Woman’. Lyme Regis is home to
thousands of dinosaur fossils many easily spotted
in its limestone cliffs.
Onward to the lovely Devon countryside visiting
the elegant resort of Sidmouth in the afternoon
where the beach is set between spectacular cliffs.

Scarborough and Historic York

26 27
Scarborough enjoys an unrivalled
position as one of Britain’s
premier coastal resorts yet also
lies tantalisingly close to North
Yorkshire’s rugged National Park.
On this holiday you can enjoy
the golden beaches, superb parks
and gardens and wide range of
leisure amenities which have given
Scarborough its justifiable reputation,
as well as the natural beauty and
historical heritage of Yorkshire.
Sunday We depart from our local area and travel
north to Yorkshire arriving at the Esplanade Hotel,
for the next 5 nights stay with dinner, bed and
breakfast.
Monday This morning we head north following the
coast road to Whitby, the famous fishing port which
was once the home of Captain James Cook. High
above the harbour stands the 7th century Whitby
Abbey, the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
We have time to wander around the narrow
streets and busy harbourside before leaving for the
picturesque village of Goathland. Here you have
chance of an optional ride on the North Yorkshire
Moors Railway, a scenic ride across the moors to
Pickering.
Tuesday A free day to discover the varied
attractions of Scarborough. Enjoy the delightful
promenade in the Belvedere Gardens, take a short
walk to the town centre and shops, or amble down
to the beaches of South Bay, or the busy little
harbour.
Wednesday This morning we leave for a day in the
ancient and historic City of York. In York there are
lots of things to see and do – The National Railway
Museum, The Jorvik Centre, The Castle Museum,
stroll around the City Walls, wander around
the excellent shops, explore the many quaint
little alleyways, and, of course, no visit to York is
complete without seeing magnificent York Minster.
Late afternoon we return to Scarborough.
Thursday Today we have a sightseeing
spectacular! Leaving Scarborough we head inland
to lovely Hutton-le-Hole and up on to the moors,
crossing Blakey Ridge with fantastic views on all
sides. From Danby we continue via Guisborough
and Great Ayton, with views of Roseberry Topping,
to Bilsdale, known as ‘Little Switzerland’. Our final
stop is in Helmsley, with its huge market square and
interesting little shops to explore.
Friday Regretfully we leave after breakfast and
begin our journey home.
Your hotel
The 3 Star Esplanade Hotel enjoys a commanding
position on Scarborough’s South Cliff, yet is just a
short walk from the beach, the Spa and the town
centre. Bedrooms are all en suite with TV and tea/
coffee making facilities. There is a lift to all floors
and evening entertainment is planned on two
evenings.
