We arrived at Whitby on Saturday from Knaresborough for the second stop on our Yorkshire mini-tour. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing and enormous waves were crashing on the beach and rocks.
It was a beautiful day, and just right for a bracing walk into the town, starting on the footpath to the beach nearby.
The famous ruined abbey sits above the harbour.
We’re limited to how far we can walk, while Catherine regains her strength, and we try to avoid gradients.
Fortunately, there’s a good bus service from our campsite (Sandfield House Farm) to Whitby.
Whitby has attractions for everyone: picturesque streets, the harbour side, the Abbey, the beach, fishing trips; and traditional British-seaside candy floss, amusements and fish and chips!
And next to the whale’s jawbone, the town’s most famous explorer – Captain Cook.
Yesterday we travelled 22 miles to our next stop the C3 Scarborough site for more Yorkshire sunshine and showers.
