      Whitby England

      25 września 2017, Anglia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      We've arrived in the U.K. 🇬🇧 After a very early start this morning we caught a flight to London, picked up our car and headed north for a 4.5 hour drive to Whitby on the coast in the Yorkshire Downs & Moors. The weather is a little bleak today but great scenery. Czytaj więcej

      Bakewell to Whitby via York

      9 września 2018, Anglia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Really loved our time in Bakewell. Cheryl was a friendly host and her house was so quaint. She put on a good breakfast for us and David then retrieved the car from up the hill. Packed it up and located car park in town. The town was gorgeous especially the river with its large fish, swans, ducks and two beautiful bridges. We looked around the shops and bought two small Bakewell puddings from one of several shops selling them. We then headed off towards York but following the route suggested by Cheryl which kept us off the motorway and took us past Chatsworth House. We paid to enter the grounds, but not the building as so expensive. The grounds themselves were amazing and hard to believe it is owned by a private family, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. We carried on towards York through numerous little villages. By this time the rain had set in but luckily we were in the car! Found another park and ride at York and decided to use it. This time it was free parking with the ride into town. York was amazing even in the rain. We quickly found the Jorvik Centre (Viking Museum) and almost decided against going in as it was already 4pm and we had to queue in the rain. So pleased we persevered as once inside we boarded a ride which took us around an amazing Viking display of a town as it was. The figures, all moving, and the sounds, were so lifelike. It was just so cleverly put together. We were pleasantly surprised to find on leaving that the rain had stopped. We spent the next hour roaming around, viewing The York Minster, the wall and The Shambles. Amazing history everywhere. We were back at the car by 5 45. Headed off and again pleasantly surprised to find the motorway was small and not that busy. Our drive took us up over the Yorkshire moors with its low cloud and expansive views of the surrounding area. We arrived in Whitby at 7 and were greeted by the most amazing view of the old town as we crossed the bridge. We followed the directions for finding the house and a carpark, both with great difficulty as the street was not on the GPS since you can’t drive on it and the parking was horrendous. Paid for a 24 hour park and then dragged our luggage about 10 minutes along the cobbled street. Knew there was reason I wanted to be fit before we left! Once again the cottage is gorgeous and very small. We are very close to the main area so walked down for dinner and a wee stop at a bar on the way home. Went to bed with the sound of loud seagulls outside. Czytaj więcej

      Whitby

      9 września 2018, Anglia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      A wonderful day in Whitby. Warm and windy as we set off to locate a laundromat, due to there being no anticipated washing machine at the cottage. Walked about 25 minutes to the one we knew of and left our machine going while we had a coffee down the road. 30 minutes later and it was all done! Returned to set it up to dry before heading off for a walk up the 199 steps to the Abbey. The audio guide at the abbey was excellent and the scenery stunning. We stopped at the White Horse and Griffin for a drink before heading to the Captain Cook museum. It was in his original lodgings and very nicely laid out within the house. We left there for a fish and chip lunch (every restaurant specialises in them!) Numerous pirates were around including a couple with two brightly coloured parrots. The streets were so busy with people everywhere. We then made our way back to the cottage for a lovely rest and some downtime. We headed out again at 5 and topped our walking steps up to 20504 as we walked along the Whitby cliff tops and along the pier. Dinner was in the tiny pub at the end of our street overlooking the port. Whitby is a beautiful town, so full of character and seaside atmosphere. Czytaj więcej

      Whitby

      10 września 2018, Anglia ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      Well what a bonus the extra day in Whitby was. Last night as we packed for Edinburgh we realised we had another night here! Got up a bit later and headed off in the car. Stopped for coffee and one of “ Dotty’s fruit scones’ at Staithes, a gorgeous little town on the coast north of Whitby. Best scones ever! Carried on up the coast to Middlesbrough to visit cousin Jane and her daughter. Over 30 years since I had seen her and was so pleased we went. Left there for the drive back over the North Yorkshire moors to Goathland, the location of Heartbeat and The first Harry Potter movie. The drive was up and down very narrow country roads and was very picturesque . Goathland was just beautiful with Aidensfield Hotel, complete with sheep wandering loose on the road outside, and the railway station straight from both. We were lucky to be there just as the steam train arrived. Such atmosphere! We carried on to Scarborough but it was a complete surprise, firstly because of its size( 600 000 people live there) secondly we were in the 5 pm traffic and thirdly it seemed pretty unattractive and hard to see its appeal. We drove on to another beautiful spot, Robin Hood’s Bay where we had dinner. This would be a good place to explore further in the daytime. Have re-checked our schedule and know we are off to Edinburgh tomorrow!l Czytaj więcej

      Whitby - Ballerman

      21 lipca 2022, Anglia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Ok, das ist etwas übertrieben. Aber der Ort bzw. im neueren ‚West Cliff Quartier‘ hats viel BlingBling, Spielhöllen, Touristen-Bootsfahrten, IceCream-, HotDog-Stände etc.… Aber der Reihe nach: Wir parken in der Nähe von Whitby Abbey, einer stattlichen Klosterruine auf dem Hügel. Zuerst kochen wir uns eine Mahlzeit - es ist schliesslich schon Nachmittag. Über Treppen vorbei an einem grossen Friedhof gehts runter nach ‚Old Town‘ - ein sehr hübsches, altes Quartier mit Blick auf die Hafenmole und die beiden Leuchttürme! Wir laufen über einen Holzsteg und -brücke bis ganz raus zu den zwei Leuchtfeuer, die den Hafeneingang markieren & haben einen tollen Blick auf die Steilküste, den Hafen und die Stadt! So viel laufen gibt Durst! Wir schnappen uns was Hochprozentiges und Rahel kriegt bei Ihrem Drink eine Show geboten 🤩 genüsslich schlürfend beobachten wir die Ruder-Teams, die in 2er, 4er, 6er Booten in der Hafenanlage rauf- und runter rudern 😎 Czytaj więcej

      Ooops…

      22 lipca 2022, Anglia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Dass wir hier gar nicht hätten übernachten dürfen, sehen wir erst auf dem Rückweg von der Morgenrunde auf dem Schildchen… üblicherweise ist die Info am Parking-Kasten angeschrieben… hier für einmal nicht, nur einmal bei der Einfahrt … haben trotzdem sehr gut & ruhig geschlafen 😎 Czytaj więcej

      Cleveland Way zum Zmorge

      22 lipca 2022, Anglia ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Der Cleveland Way ist ein nationaler Trail, dem wir nun schon ein paarmal begegnet sind. Ein Wegstück führt genau an unserem Übernachtungsplätzli bei der Abbey vorbei. Wir haben uns vorgenommen, früh aufzustehen und die Küste im Morgenlicht zu geniessen. Um 5:55 klingelt der Wecker. Schnell hören wir: heute - erstmals in diesen Ferien! - rägelets. Und tatsächlich: Als wir die Türen öffnen, sieht es mehr aus wir Herbstwetter: Nebel, Nieselregen, trüb … egal. Wir holen die Regenjacke und ☂️ raus und los gehts… schöne Stimmung! Alles ist noch ganz still… wir geniessen den Moment. Zurück beim Parkplatz springt 🐕 plötzlich los... vorne huscht eilig etwas davon … ein Fasan! Nayra ist so irritiert, dass sie einfach stehen bleibt 😅 (Frühstück gibts heute Variante ‚einfach‘ im Bus. Ich versuche ein ‚Porridge‘ zum Aufgiessen… Geschmack gut, sehr matschige Konsistenz…. Optik: Naja 😅) Czytaj więcej

      Bloody Beck Hill, Lousy Hill Lane ...

      24 września 2016, Anglia ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

      Just some of the roads I've driven on today.

      I started by checking out Goathland station, also known as Hogsmeade station. I think Grosmont is nicer.

      A short drive took me to Whitby. I was really surprised at how close it is. I started with a trip in the old lifeboat out of the harbour to a bouy in the ocean. So I've officially been out into the North Sea!

      There were a lot of families crabbing off the harbour walls. Most had little mesh bags with meat in them at the end of a hand line. Everyone seemed to be catching crabs with great regularity. They were quite small and the catching is for fun only, they throw them back.

      One if the guys on the lifeboat recommended a fish and chip shop for lunch. On the boat he was telling us as a kid they ate fish everyday and only had meat on Sundays, a bit different to mutton everyday with occasional fish for me growing up.

      The fish and chips was nice. I do find it amusing that peas are offerred/come with every meal in England. I turned down the peas, curry sauce and gravy. The tartare sauce was good though.

      Around the corner was the Captain Cook museum. There wasn't a lot of information there but it was interesting to see a shipmaster's house.

      Then up to the headland to Whitby Abbey. I do wonder what all these ruins would be like if Henry VII hadn't interfered. I am beginning to recognise the layout of an abbey now. The location is spectacular.

      Today was meant to include the whole North Yorkshire coast so Robin Hood's bay was next. It is at the top of a cliff. I tried to get down to the beach but came to a dead end about 2/3 the way down. There were lots of rocky pools and kids with nets looking for creatures.

      I could see Robin Hood's bay from Ravenscar, there isn't a lot there.

      Scarborough was interesting and I wish I could have spent much more time there. I could see signs of the magnificient spa town it must have been including a tramway and funicular to get from the top of the cliff to the beach. Robin Hood's bay could do with one of these!

      I headed back to Goathland while it was still light. Fortunately it was still light when I met a landrover on a single lane road while going uphill. I was the one who had to do the reversing.

      Tea was in the Goathland hotel (aka The Aidensfield Arms). I tried black pudding - okay but I was expecting a more salami style taste. The main of silverside of beef with yorkshire pudding produced roast beef, not what I would call silverside. It was nice with horseradish sauce.
