The Principal York Hotel is just steps from York Minster and offers a fantastic central city centre location, for an overnight stay and dinner.
Today begins with one of the best food tours in the country, in Malton – with the chance to sample artisan cheese, chocolate and craft beer.
Back to York, there’s the chance to discover this lively city bursting with rich history, fascinating ghost walks and a vast selection of bars and restaurants. The York Pass gives access to some of the very best attractions, with no need to queue for tickets at each one, from Clifford’s Tower to the Jorvik Viking Centre.
Offering tapas-style traditional Yorkshire dishes, Mr P’s Curious Tavern is an atmospheric spot to have dinner. Its Grade II-listed surrounds are full of history, providing a fascinating contrast against its innovative dining concept.
The Original Ghost Walk of York is a great way to finish the day in this historic city. From psychic investigations to woeful tales of ragged child phantoms, hooded spectres and mysterious apparations, the darkest parts of York’s past are brought to life with this tour.
With its medieval architecture and stunning surrounds, a guided walking tour is a great way to get to know the city of York . Taking in the iconic sights of York Minister, The Shambles, Clifford’s Tower, and the city walls, it also gives the opportunity to learn about key events and notable figures in the city’s history.
For a historically rich and tasty tour through time, Tours in a Dish give the chance to sample fresh scones, get involved in a cheese and tea pairing workshop, sip Yorkshire coffee and gorge on some authentic Korean snacks.
The next part of the culinary adventure begins at the York Chocolate Story. With a full guided tour, it’s a fantastic way to learn all about the most famous names in confectionery – and make some treats to take home.
The Walmgate Ale House is located in a 17th-century building, known for many a ghostly tale. But it’s the hearty Yorkshire food which really draws the crowds – best accompanied by a selection of Yorkshire ales, ciders and beers, of course!
A Yorkshire Appetite Food Tour gives a taste of Harrogate in more way than one! Combining historical commentary with some of the town’s best cuisine, it’s a chance to sample some of the town’s finest including toffee, fish and chips and artisanal ice cream.
A tour of the Black Sheep Brewery guarantees a quintessential Yorkshire beer experience. The traditional brewery can be seen in action with a visit to the fermenting rooms, where visitors will learn how the award-winning beers are brewed, and of course get to try a few of the famous beers back in the bar.
Rudding Park Hotel is a haven of tranquility, with 90 guestrooms, a spa, private cinema, two golf courses and 300 acres of manicured gardens. Dinner at one of the hotel’s restaurants – the 2 AA Rosette Clocktower Restaurant and Bar or the Horto Restaurant, gives the perfect opportunity to soak up some of that gin from earlier on in the day!
