This opportunity is very limited (I think only 9 spots remain!) so reach out to us now to get all the info. We will visit farms, see countryside, visit farms, drink tea, visit farms, tour a distillery, pet sheep, eat fish & chips, go to the Great Yorkshire Show, see more sheep, have a lesson, eat scones and see more farms, sheep and countryside. Doesn’t that sound MAGICAL???! Email us NOW so we can reserve your spot.
