1940s Weekend Tour

From the dramatic scenery of the Dales to the nostalgic celebrations of Pickering, this unique break explores the best of Yorkshire. During the "Railway at War" event, Pickering is transformed back into how it was during the 1940s. After a military parade, customers are taken through breathtaking scenery on the renowned North Yorkshire Moors Railway, visiting Goathland, the setting of TV's Heartbeat. The journey evokes the wartime spirit with fellow passengers dressed in costumes from the era and partisans attacking a station. Another highlight of this fantastic 1940s weekend tour is a journey to the famous beauty spot, Aysgarth Falls, on the Wensleydale Railway.
