Whitby Abbey through the Whale Bones

This is me on the other headland of Whitby Bay.

I had to hang on for all it was worth

as the North wind was so strong!

We visited the Museums and the

Jet workshops.

The jet jewelry is beautiful but the best pieces were

Victorian and in the Whitby Museum.

Whitby Abbey Ruin

I took so many photographs of

The Abbey as every corner was so interesting

not only because of the structure but the way

the stones have been eroded by the weather.

The history is fascinating

Walk up to Whitby Abbey

We travelled from Withernsea to Whitby,
a couple of hours journey
along the Yorkshire Coast.
This is Jenn and Sophie walking up to the Abbey
in a force nine gale!
Now remember the famous Abbey
is on the edge of a rocky headland of a Bay.
So going near the edge
to look at the view was an experience!
So atmospheric, you can see why
so many Gothic tales were written there,
including Bram Stoker's
'Dracula'.
