SUN This morning we travel to the Hex Wildlife Hotel in Yorkshire for a unique four night stay, with stops en route for coffee and lunch, arriving in time for this evening’s dinner.

MON Today we have a full day to experience ‘no ordinary animal adventure’ at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. More than just a ‘wild’ day out, conservation is at the heart of everything they do. Discover truly incredible animals on this wonderful walk-through wildlife adventure including lions, tigers, leopards, rhinos, lemurs, monkeys, zebras, giraffes, polar bears, sea lions and many more! You will also have time at leisure to browse the Yorkshire Hive shopping village, which is located adjacent to the Hotel and Wildlife Park and is a collection of boutique stores brimming with local artisan products, artwork and gifts.

TUE We visit Europe’s largest selection of antiques and collectables today at Hemswell Antique Centres, located in the wonderful, rural Lincolnshire countryside. Set in four historic buildings, once part of RAF Hemswell, they house a vast array of antique treasures from over 400 dealers, beautifully presented, which makes for a truly fascinating day out. Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply love to browse and be inspired, there is something for everyone – including two welcoming coffee shops for you to relax and recharge in during your visit.

WED After a leisurely start to the day, we make our way to one of Yorkshire’s hidden gems – Brodsworth Hall and Gardens, a Victorian country house frozen in time, with award-winning gardens. This remarkably preserved country house offers a captivating journey into Victorian England, remaining virtually unchanged since the 1860s. The house features over 30 rooms, from grand reception areas adorned with original furnishings to the modest servants’ quarters, all conserved to reflect their historical state. Surrounding the hall are 15 acres of gardens, meticulously restored to their 19th-century design and featuring a variety of themed areas with seasonal blooms and elegant water features amidst lush greenery. We then return to our hotel and enjoy our final evening meal before tomorrow’s departure.

THU After this morning’s breakfast we head south, stopping on the way for morning coffee and lunch, arriving home in the early evening.
