Yorkshire Dales adventure

K5721MCshirleya, Sept 2025

Had a wonderful day on the BusyBus, Lee the driver was so knowledgeable, I enjoyed all the information he gave us before each stop. Loved the waterfall at Hardraw Force Re: Kevin Kostner was filmed having a wash underneath the waterfall in a nude 🫣 Enjoyed the music Lee played of artists that were from Yorkshire, I love Human League, ABC and Robert Powel. It was so tranquil just watching the world go by, great views looking out of the bus window. What a great name of one of the streets in Howarth, ‘Shirley Street’ 🤣🤣 Thank you again Lee for a fab day we had in the Yorkshire Dales and Howarth 😀😀

Response from Host, Sept 2025

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Yorkshire Dales Adventure and that Lee made the day so informative and fun. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the beautiful sights like Hardraw Force, the Yorkshire-themed music, and the charming details along the way – including Shirley Street! We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Lee, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!

Itinerary

  • Haworth

    Step off the bus and into literary history with a 45-minute stop in Haworth, a charming hillside village best known as the home of the Brontë sisters. At the top of the village stands the Brontë Parsonage Museum (exterior viewing only), where Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë lived and wrote their world-renowned novels. The churchyard and nearby St Michael and All Angels Church offer striking photo opportunities and a quiet moment of reflection.

    45 minutes
  • Wensleydale Creamery

    Are you a cheese lover? Wensleydale Creamery is a must-visit destination for food lovers and anyone curious about Yorkshire’s rich culinary heritage. The Creamery itself is a charming mix of tradition and modern craftsmanship. From the outside, its stone buildings blend seamlessly with the landscape, while inside lies a world of flavour and history. Visitors can explore the Cheese Shop, where you can sample and buy the famous Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese, alongside a wide selection of local and artisan varieties.

    Whilst at the Creamery, take advantage of either the cafe or in house restaurant to sustain yourself for the rest of the day.

    1 hour
  • Hardraw Force

    Step off the bus into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and experience one of the region’s most spectacular natural sights. The Hardraw Force Waterfall stop offers visitors immediate access to the stunning landscapes and rich heritage of Wensleydale. Just a short stroll from the stop, through the historic Green Dragon Inn, lies Hardraw Force – England’s highest single-drop waterfall. Hidden within a wooded gorge, this dramatic 100-foot cascade is a truly unforgettable sight. Whether it’s in full flow after rainfall or gently spilling over the edge on a quiet summer day, the waterfall offers a moment of peace and awe in equal measure. This is a photo opportunity you dont want to miss.

    30 minutes
  • Hawes Market Square

    With its cobbled streets, stone-built shops, and vibrant local charm, Hawes is a highlight of any journey through the Yorkshire Dales. Right in the heart of town is the Hawes Market Hall, where local traders offer everything from handmade crafts and gifts to fresh produce and baked goods. Surrounding the market area are cosy tearooms, traditional pubs, and independent shops selling local art, outdoor gear, and Yorkshire treats. The backdrop is stunning: rolling hills, dry-stone walls, and the River Ure winding its way through the valley.

  • Ribblehead Viaduct

    As the bus approaches the Ribblehead Viaduct, it spans 400 metres (1,300 feet) with 24 massive stone arches, standing proudly against the backdrop of Whernside, the highest peak in Yorkshire. Built in the 1870s for the Settle–Carlisle railway, the viaduct remains a working piece of railway history – and with a bit of luck, you may even catch a train gliding across its top.

    15 minutes
  • Malham Cove

    dramatic curved limestone cliff rising 80 metres (260 feet) above the valley floor. Formed by ancient glacial waters, this striking rock formation has captivated visitors for centuries – and even made a star appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
