A weekend in Yorkshire
2 days For everyone Built from visitor-rated places
Two days, six stops, and no rushing about: this is Yorkshire taken at a comfortable pace. Day one opens gently at Goddards, the sort of morning where you wander, look, and let the day find its rhythm. Lunch at The Beagle sets you up nicely for an afternoon on The Shambles, where the best plan is really no plan at all — just time to drift, browse and look up at the rooftops.
Day two swaps the bustle for something quieter. A morning at Farnley Hall, lunch at The White Hart, then an unhurried afternoon at Horsforth Museum to round things off. It's a weekend built around short hops and long lunches rather than a packed timetable, so there's room to linger where you like it and move on when you're ready. Pack comfortable shoes, an appetite, and very little else.

Day 1
Start slow at Goddards, amble on to lunch at The Beagle, then give the whole afternoon to The Shambles so you're never watching the clock.
Day 2
A calm morning at Farnley Hall leads naturally into lunch at The White Hart, with Horsforth Museum a gentle, low-effort finish before you head home.
