To walk with The Wayfarers in Yorkshire, England is to follow in the footsteps of James Herriot through the Yorkshire hills and dales made famous in All Creatures Great and Small and other beloved books by the country veterinarian. Along woodland paths and riverbanks, across moors purple with heather, we observe birds, sheep, and local game. Man-made monuments vie with nature for our attention. We stop at the ruins of Fountains Abbey, founded in 1132.
Accommodations are at historic inns which have welcomed travelers for centuries.
Dinner might be a grilled venison or fish from a nearby lake.
