Yorshire Coast

Yes, I have explored the Yorkshire Coast! It is a beautiful and rugged coastline with stunning cliffs, charming fishing villages, and a rich history. The coastal cliffs around Runswick Bay and Robin Hood's Bay are formed from Jurassic rock around 200 million years old. These cliffs are home to a variety of fossils, including ammonites, belemnites, and dinosaur bones.

The Yorkshire Coast is also home to several charming fishing villages, such as Runswick Bay, Robin Hood's Bay, and Whitby. These villages have a rich maritime history and are a great place to enjoy fresh seafood and stunning coastal views.

Whitby is a particularly popular tourist destination, thanks to its dramatic abbey ruins, its association with Bram Stoker's Dracula, and its annual Goth Weekend.

Here are some of my favorite things to do on the Yorkshire Coast:

  • Hike along the Cleveland Way National Trail, which offers stunning views of the coastline.
  • Visit the Runswick Bay Fossil Museum to learn about the area's Jurassic history.
  • Explore the charming fishing villages of Runswick Bay, Robin Hood's Bay, and Staithes.
  • Climb the 199 steps to the top of Whitby Abbey for panoramic views of the town and coastline.
  • Take a boat trip from Whitby to see seals and other marine wildlife.

I hope you have the opportunity to explore the Yorkshire Coast someday!

Spring time

  The sun awakes in a sleepy stretch,  Yawning warmth on a winter's wretch.  Birdsong flutters on the breeze,  Waking trees from slumber...
