Moors Exploring

We had a bit of spare time before leaving Scarborough and chose to explore the surrounding areas. This started with Thornton Dale, a very cute, quintessential English town with great bakery's, food places, and shops. Not to mention the nice green parks with plenty of water. Despite being beautiful, it was still very small and we could only spend a couple hours here before moving on. We decided to drive further into the Moors and explore as much as we could. This time we could enjoy our views, and take our time a bit more now that we had already spread nanny's ashes. It's a large region and so there was still plenty of places to drive through, and it was a great to see the unique landscape in this way. We then decided to return to Whitby since our legs were much more capable of carrying our weight compared to last time. This time spending a bit of time walking around and seeing the markets, before finding a nice pub for a beer. There was a walkathon in the area so it was quite busy in town and as such didn't bother to stick around. This did mean that the abbey was crowded with cars and people and still low on energy from yesterday, we decided to simply do a drive by rather than waste anymore energy. It means the photos aren't great but suffice for the memory's. We grabbed a quick feed on the way home and then relaxed in the afternoon due to a big couple days.Read more
