Our adventure begins as we gather at Duncombe Place in York at the designated time, where we will board our minibus for the scenic drive to Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Our first destination is the quaint village of Masham. Here, you will wander along the historic narrow lanes and witness the remnants of the Anglo-Saxon cross, a remarkable artifact dating back over 1300 years!
