While Les is away on his euro bike trip I've spent a few days getting reacquainted with North Yorkshire.. It's an area we spent a lot of time in when the kids were small but the last few visits showed the area was getting quite run down.
Myself and a friend stayed at Broadings Farm, just outside Whitby. Highly recommended (& great rally field)
We've had great weather, which always helps
We went for a look at Whitby + for something to eat. Now I was expecting wall to wall fast food but was surprised to see how many places have been refurbished & serve locally sourced food & seafood.
Last time we ate here it was a home made food cafe
Don't know if seafood platter for 2 @£65 is good value but it sounds fab!
Next day we went to Pickering...again, this place has had a bit of a lift + expansion.
Many places to eat + dog friendly
Yesterday saw us at Staithes, wow, what a change. It seems lots of artists have moved into the area since our last visit & they were gearing up for their festival. I hope we get chance to visit next year.
Lots of art installation s around & open studios.
@Jenben craft bombing? I did try to get a pic of the knitted seagull too....
Melville the whale & his creator
. We also visited Sandsend.....plenty of parking on the street, there is so much money being spent on the area along this coast, lovely.
