BEST FOR: A NO-FLY FEAST A Taste of Yorkshire – Shearings Cheese, ales, confectionery and stunning scenery don’t have to involve overseas trips – the UK has plenty for clients to sink their teeth into, including a new tour from Shearings that explores the best that Yorkshire has to offer. A visit to the Wensleydale Creamery gives guests a chance to sample this king of English cheeses, freshly made, while real ale fans will be able to sup bitters, IPAs and stouts at the Black Sheep Brewery. The tour also takes in a gentle meander around the cobbled streets of York – home of the Rowntree’s and Terry’s brands – to learn about its longstanding relationship with confectionery, plus the chance to make chocolate, and enjoy a classic fish and chip supper in Whitby. But it’s not all about the food and drink – exploring picturesque Dales villages such as Ripon, Aysgarth and Hawes, and climbing aboard a steam train to ride the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, are experiences as moreish as the region’s cheeses. Book it: Shearings’ five-day trip can be booked from £529, including half-board accommodation and coach travel, for an August 28 departure.
