Have you ever wished you could book a Shearings holiday that doesn't make you travel to the Interchange on a feeder coach first?

Well you can, with Shearings dedicated trips exclusive to York & County Press Reader Travel. These travel direct from York, Selby, Malton and Pickering without the hassle of changing coaches at Normanton or Washington Interchanges.

All the trips are half board, which is dinner, bed and breakfast and there are a variety of places to choose from.

Choose from Dornoch and North Highlands on dates between April to October for four days from £119 per person, or Dornoch and Castle of Mey, June 6, July 11 or September 5 for five days from £189. Or, you may prefer Chatsworth and Crich on June 10 for three days from £115.

If you are an organised person, you can even book in advance for one of the following three - SS Walter Scott and Delightful Trossachs on October 7 for three days from £112, Cambridge, Ely and Rutland on October 28 for three days from £106 or Glasgow Christmas Shopper and Loch Lomond on November 18 for three days from £109.
