Bespoke driver-guided private tours and days of discovery through Herriot Country, The Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks, Yorkshire Coastline, ancient city of York and The Lake District.

Herriot Country Tours creates private, bespoke, driver-guided journeys designed around you, your interests, your pace and your curiosity. Each day unfolds gently, without fixed schedules or hurried stops, allowing time to breathe, wander, and fully absorb the scenery, stories, and atmosphere that make Herriot Country so special.

Led by local guide Paul Peacock, our tours go beyond guidebooks and well-rehearsed history. You’ll hear the stories, folklore and everyday truths that only come from a lifetime spent living and working in these landscapes, tales passed down, places locals return to, and viewpoints few visitors ever see. Guests often tell us they leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and quietly fulfilled, with a genuine sense that they’ve experienced Yorkshire as it is lived, not just as it is visited. By travelling at a gentle pace and supporting independent cafés, craftspeople and communities along the way, your journey also helps sustain the landscapes and people that make this region so special.
