The first stop will be Wensleydale’s most famous landmark, the 14th century Bolton Castle which once housed Mary, Queen of Scots. Take the opportunity to enjoy and photograph the magnificent views over Wensleydale, learn a bit about the history of the area from your Guide, or just have a leisurely Yorkshire Brew in the medieval castle’s Tea Room. The choice is yours.
After, make the short journey to Aysgarth to see and photograph the major falls which were a filming location for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
