HISTORIC TOWN of WELSHPOOL and the WELSHPOOL & LLANFAIR RAILWAY
Saturday 10th August 2024
Welshpool is a market town steeped in history and tradition on the River Severn. It has a unique mix of architecture, modern and antique and set amidst the rolling borderlands and described as the gateway to Wales. The indoor market stalls offer a wide selection of food, clothes, household goods, antiques, jewellery, arts and crafts, gifts, flowers and plants. There is an interesting mix of local and national shops adorning the High Street with restaurants, cafes and pubs for refreshments. This afternoon we visit the Welshpool and Llanfair narrow gauge railway station at Raven Square in Welshpool. This has been the terminus of the narrow-gauge railway since 1981. The railway is largely run by volunteers and provides steam-hauled passenger rides along the Banwy Valley to Llanfair Caereinion terminus.

HARROGATE AND THE BEAUTIFUL YORKSHIRE DALES VILLAGE OF GRASSINGTON
Saturday 17th August 2024
Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales, an outstanding
place to explore! It has many moods; it can be wild
and windswept or quietly tranquil with valleys full of
hay meadows, drystone walls and barns. We travel to
Harrogate where the Spa history continues to shape
the town with several superb spas, including the
original Turkish Baths in the iconic Royal Baths building
in the centre of town, the Royal Pump Room Museum,
documenting the importance of local mineral springs.
Opposite the Museum is the beautiful Valley Gardens
with 17 acres of formal gardens and woodland. Historical
buildings include the Magnesia Well Pump Rooms, the
Sun Pavilion, and the Sun Colonnade. There are many
shops in Harrogate plus restaurants and bars including
Betty’s Tea Rooms. This afternoon enjoy the great dales scenery as we travel to Grassington located in Upper Wharfdale and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Discover a bustling cobbled market square, fringed by shops offering everything from practical essentials to totally tempting luxuries, art galleries, crafts and open studios. There are friendly cafés, restaurants and cosy hotels for refreshments. Grassington is the home of the fictional market town of Darrowby in All Creatures Great and Small, the 2020 television series set in 1937. Based upon the classic James Herriot books written by Alf Wight which follow the adventures of a young country vet in Yorkshire. There is a Yorkshire Dales National Park Information Centre, plus Toilets at the coach park. We return via Skipton.
