Wensleydale Creamery, home of Yorkshire’s
famous cheese.

Goat’ minibuses take us where large coaches
cannot go. This is a wonderful day, taking in
the mountain passes of the Western Fells –
Wrynose Pass, the desolate Duddon Valley

Roman Fort as we descend into Eskdale for
a ride on L’al Ratty – the Ravenglass and
