SWAP TUSCANY, ITALY FOR YORKSHIRE
Florence in Yorkshire
Begin your taste of la dolce vita, Yorkshire style in the county’s capital.

Centrally located and overlooking the historic City Wall and the Monk Bar, the DoubleTree by Hilton York is the perfect base from which to explore the city.

Start with a stroll around the picturesque market town of Skipton and gorge on a ‘farm to table’ brunch at Keelham Farm, before heading into the beautiful countryside towards Grassington, then east through the heady inclines of the Nidderdale Valley. Round your trip off with a stop in Ripon, one of England’s oldest towns, passing the beautiful and other-worldly Brimham Rock formations on your way.
