Villages to die for

This was to be a memorable day touring around some of the prettiest Yorkshire villages one could find.  The time of year meant that all the hedgerows and gardens were ablaze with colour, absolutely everything was at its height, and in profusion.  His visit to Castle Howard was far different from a similar visit that would be made today.  In those days the Castle was not a tourist attraction, was not open to the public, and no films were being made there.  I doubt they even had the peacocks you will see there now.  Missing out on Reivaulx Abbey due to time constraints could also be seen as a mistake on Charlie’s part, for it is set in such a beautiful vale, in such peaceful surroundings that it demands attention from everyone who ventures within 20 miles of it.
