Our first stop of the day will be Grassington. Home to the fictional market town of Darrowby in the new series of All Creatures Great & Small. Picture a bustling cobbled market square, fringed by shops offering everything from practical essentials to totally tempting luxuries. Art galleries, crafts and open studios complete the Yorkshire shopping experience. Add other attractions such as friendly cafés, restaurants and cosy hotels, all set against a backdrop of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. That’s Grassington, the small market town that feels like a village. Discover Grassington – the beating heart of the Yorkshire Dales. At 2pm we will make our way to the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway. Step back into a bygone era with a visit to the award-winning Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. We will engage, enthuse and excite you… The sight and sound of powerful majestic steam engines, from the industrial workhorses of pits, collieries, docks and factory yards to the more glamorous locomotives which graced main lines – all lovingly restored by our team of volunteers. We’ve got vintage Edwardian carriages, Victorian Director’s Saloons and original 1960’s slam-door stock to ride in. We’re proud of our re-built Bolton Abbey Station & the delightful Victorian features of the restored Embsay Station. The Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway is a volunteer-run, preserved Heritage Railway which does not receive any grants or subsidies towards running. It runs over part of the former Skipton-Ilkley line which was closed in 1965 and has steadily been rebuilt by the volunteers. Travel between Embsay station, built in 1888, and the award-winning station at Bolton Abbey. Your journey takes you through picturesque Yorkshire Dales scenery.
