Yorkshire Dales, TV Soap Country
Our first destination was in Wensleydale, to visit the Wensleydale Creamery
where we observed demonstrations on how cheese and butter is made. We took
photos with Wallace and Gromit and at the end, got to taste the many different
cheeses on offer. We learnt lots of new and interesting facts.
After a
scenic drive through the countryside we arrived at The Woolpack pub where we
had a lovely lunch. Then, the day got even better, when the friendly staff in
the pub gave us the opportunity to get behind the bar to pull a pint. For that
moment, everyone had the chance to be the Landlord or Landlady of the Woolpack. 
At
Sid’s Cafe we had a warm drink and took photos with all the memorabilia.
We boarded the Summer Wines Magic tour bus. The tour took us around the village where they shot the longest running comedy series ever. The whole tour was very educational and a lot of fun.
We
visited the Goathland railway station, went up to the village shops and visited
Aidensfield garage. Whilst there, we bought more souvenirs and had a
picnic lunch at the railway station. 
After a good tour of the small village, we made our way back to the station where we hopped on a steam train for a lovely journey to Whitby which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. 
In the
village of Boroughbridge we stopped at the marina where we admired all
the different narrow boats, yachts and wide boats that people lived in. We also
got the opportunity to go in a cruiser and had a taste of what it would feel to
be behind the steering wheel of one. We spent the afternoon enjoying the views
of the marina in the beautiful sunshine.
