DTuesday 27 July
Today, visit Brodsworth Hall and Gardens to hear of its impressive rise as a country seat and steady decline until it was saved in the 1990s. Inside, the interiors were conserved as close to possible as they were found, preserving its distinctive character. On return, visit much loved Elsecar, a heritage centre village built by the gentry which became an international centre of ironmaking and coalmining. It is now home to a number of independent shops and cafes.

First opened in 1867 to transport coal and textiles to the local mills, journey back in time and enjoy five miles of stunning scenery. To round the day off, head to the Victorian spa town of Ilkley, known for its breath-taking moorland scenery, with time to wander at your own pace.
