Six days along the Yorkshire coast and across the moors, through locations from Dracula, Bridgerton, Indiana Jones and Mission: Impossible.
Clifftop abbey ruins, a steam railway through open moorland, a Baroque palace that doubles as Regency London, and fishing villages that have barely changed in two hundred years. Everything on this route sits within two hours of York.
Day 1
Arrival - Castle Howard
Arrive in Manchester and head east across the Pennines. Castle Howard lies directly on the route, around ninety minutes out: a Baroque house a century in the building, set in a thousand acres of lakes, temples and ancient woodland. Its interiors have stood in for Regency and Victorian London across Bridgerton, Brideshead Revisited and The Courtship. Clients can tour the state rooms and collections, or simply walk the grounds. Continue to the coast at Scarborough for two nights.

Day 2
Scarborough - Flamborough Cliffs
A morning run south along the coast to Flamborough Outer Headland, where chalk cliffs rise close to 400 feet straight out of the North Sea. The neighboring reserve at Bempton holds England's only mainland gannet colony, with hundreds of thousands of seabirds crowding the ledges at the summer peak. Two lighthouses stand on the headland — the older, a chalk tower built in 1674, is the oldest surviving complete lighthouse in England. Back in Scarborough, Britain's original seaside resort and a town that has been drawing visitors since the 1620s. Walk the golden sand of South Bay, trace the arcades of Foreshore Road and the Vincent Pier lighthouse, and finish with the view from the ruins of Scarborough Castle, high on the headland between the two bays. The windswept clifftops above Holbeck will be familiar to anyone who has seen the psychological thriller Saint Maud.

Day 3
The Smugglers' Coast - Whitby
Head inland through Cloughton and Ravenscar, where the Hayburn Wyke waterfalls drop through woodland to a boulder beach, and the remains of a wartime radar station sit above the cliffs. Next, Robin Hood's Bay, a fishing village of red roofs and cobbled alleys stacked down a ravine to the sea, built on two centuries of smuggling. Its coastline, the Victoria Hotel and St Oswald's Church all appear in Testament of Youth and Phantom Thread. Arrive in Whitby by late afternoon. This is the harbor where Bram Stoker set Dracula's arrival in England, and the ruined abbey on the East Cliff is what he saw from his lodgings. Climb the 199 steps to St Mary's Church for the view back across the harbor. Whitby is also Captain Cook's town: he learned his trade on its colliers, and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and the full-size replica of HM Bark Endeavour are both on the quayside. Overnight in Whitby.

Day 4
Goathland - North Yorkshire Moors Railway
Cross the heather moorland to Goathland, a village of stone cottages and open sheep pasture best known to British audiences as the setting for the television series Heartbeat, and to everyone else as Hogsmeade™. Goathland Station played the Hogsmeade platform in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone™, and it has changed very little since. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs from here, and clients ride it: a restored steam service through eighteen miles of moorland with no road alongside it. The same line appears in Testament of Youth, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One. Continue to York for two nights.

Day 5
York
A full day in York, and after three days on the coast it earns one. The city walls make a two-mile circuit above the rooftops, and The Shambles — the overhanging timber street at the center of the old city — is widely said to have inspired Diagon Alley™. The National Railway Museum sits beside the station and is free to enter: a natural follow-on from the steam journey the day before, with Mallard and a Japanese bullet train under one roof. For clients who would rather stay with the drama, the Jorvik Viking Centre is built over the excavated streets of the Norse city beneath York, and the riverside is the best place in town for an unplanned afternoon.

Day 6
York Minster - Departure
A final morning in York. York Minster is the largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe and took more than 250 years to complete; the climb up the Central Tower gives the best view in the city. If time permits, York's Chocolate Story covers the Rowntree and Terry's dynasties that made this a confectionery town. Transfer to Manchester for either an onward journey or return flight home,
