Heritage Routes
2008/9
Join our trips and excursions
throughout the year on our vintage half-cab buses, capturing the spirit of
England's rural history.
Summer Routes 2009 include: Route 569 to Hawes every Tuesday,
Route
570 to Ribblehead every Tuesday,
Route 572 to Barnard Castle every Wednesday
and
hopefully The Kendal Klipper!
Tuesdays (14th April - 27th October)
ROUTE 569 - Kirkby Stephen to Hawes.
This once a week service goes from Ravenstonedale via Kirkby Stephen &
the scenic Mallerstang Valley to the lively town of Hawes on market day
(Tuesday).
We stop at Hawes Creamery, home of Wensleydale cheese, and Hawes Station
in good time for lunch. Your bus ticket entitles you to great special
offers at various shops and attractions. The views from
the bus are terrific and the leisurely pace allows time for
contemplation and conversation. This is also a hail and ride service so
we can pick you up and drop you anywhere along the route.
Staff allowing (in other words if
Alison is free) then we have a guided tour through the
Mallerstang.
If you know your plans please book ahead so we can
put on an extra bus if necessary although this is a regular service bus,
so
we go regardless.
569 Timetable, dates and prices.
Tuesdays (7th July - 27th October)
Route 570 - Ribblehead.
The bus leaves Hawes during the middle of the
day to travel along the fantastic dales valley to Ribblehead Viaduct and Station
on the famous Settle-Carlisle Railway Line. We stop there for an hour to catch
two trains, so if you don't need a train there's plenty of time to visit the
small station museum, walk to the viaduct or enjoy a scrumptious pub lunch at
The Station Inn. We leave in time to return to Hawes for the rest of the 569
route.
570 Timetable, dates and prices.
Wednesdays (15th April - 28th October)
SUMMER Route 572 - Barnard Castle.
Another once a week service going from Ravenstonedale through
Kirkby Stephen and then over the tops passed dramatic fells and scenic
reservoirs to Middleton in Teesdale. You get half an hour here to have a look at
the lovely craft shops and have a cup of tea before ambling along the valley
through Eggleston to Barnard Castle. We coincide with the weekly market at
Barney and for the more culturally minded there's the Castle and Bowes Museum.
Return is straight back along the A66.
SUMMER 572 Timetables, dates and prices.
WINTER Route 572 - Barnard
Castle (Beginning Nov - Easter)
A once a week service different from the summer route, we run out
and back over the A66 missing the challenging Middleton in Teesdale detour.
WINTER
Route 572 Timetable, dates and prices.
The Kendal Klipper
For the last 8 years, during the summer, we have operated a
Park and Ride service around Kendal Town Centre. Using our 1949 Leyland Tiger,
Alex this service has become extremely popular with locals and tourists alike.
This service usually runs during the childrens summer holidays, Monday's to
Friday's.
