About this activity

York Beyond the Walls packs the character of Yorkshire into one unforgettable half-day. This is not a coach tour or a rushed whistle-stop — it is completely private for your group of up to four guests, with York pick-up and return included. In just four hours you’ll experience a Georgian market town, a hilltop village and historic church, the haunting ruins of Byland Abbey and the spectacular Kilburn White Horse, all with a local driver-guide and the freedom to enjoy the journey your way.

Itinerary

Easingwold

45 min

Easingwold is a handsome Georgian market town just north of York, with a relaxed market square, independent shops, cafés and plenty of local character. It’s an easy place to slow down, wander and get a feel for everyday North Yorkshire beyond the city.
Crayke

15 min

Crayke is a beautiful hilltop village with sweeping views across the Vale of York. We stop by St Cuthbert’s Church, a peaceful historic landmark with strong links to the village’s long past and a setting that feels wonderfully tucked away from the usual tourist trail.
Byland Abbey

30 min

Byland Abbey is one of Yorkshire’s most atmospheric monastic ruins, set in peaceful countryside beneath the North York Moors. Its soaring arches and remarkable west front give a real sense of the scale and ambition of the medieval abbey.
White Horse of Kilburn

30 min

The Kilburn White Horse is one of Yorkshire’s most distinctive landmarks, cut into the hillside below the Hambleton Hills. From here you get wide views across the Vale of York and a brilliant sense of the scale of the countryside beyond the city.
