Saturday: Leave London to Stoke-on-Trent to tour the Wedgewood and Royal Doulton factories.
Sunday: Stoke-on-Trent to Penrith. Get the rental car and check into the B&B at Keswick.
Monday: Travel to Hawes for the museums. Thirsk for Market Day and James Herriott museum. Possibly Kilburn. B&B Keswick.
Tuesday: Day tour around the lake district. Possible short hike at Buttermere. Lunch at the pub. B&B Keswick.
Wednesday: Drop car off at Penrith and take the train to Edinburgh. Check into B&B at Edinburgh.

If you have any other ideas or comments... glad to hear them. :)
Wow, I happened to chance upon your website as I was looking for information about Thirsk, but I'm surprised to see a picture of Knaresborough as your main image. What a wonderful photo, it really is a breathtaking view. I'm so glad you are choosing to come up North during your visit to England. If your interested you may like to stop at our hotel/restaurant, The Old Deanery, in Ripon, its right next to the Cathedral. I hope you have a wonderful visit.
