Thursday 30th October

 

We drove over the North Yorkshire Moors through thick fog but when we arrived in Whitby it cleared. We parked for the day up by the abbey.

 

 

We walked down the 199 steps with panoramic views of the harbour ahead of us.

 

 

The streets were very busy and crowded but when we stepped into this yard the noise and the bustle disappeared.

We crossed the swing bridge over the River Esk and stopped by the harbour.

In the evening we returned to the abbey to enjoy the sight of the ruins lit up by floodlights.
