Whitby Way Characters


 

What a great walk- the best yet and I met some great folks!

Man's Best Friend



Journey's end, Whitby Abbey (66 miles plus detours)


                                                             

Whitby Road

Glaisdale to Whitby: Stone Guide stoops  on Glaisdale Rigg

 

Lastingham Crypt

Crypt at Lastingham and the stone cross which once stood on the moor to mark the way- replaced in the 19th century
Loved the snake-headed stone - looks more Viking than Saxon


 

John's Sticks

Stick creations at Keld Farm, Newton-on-Rawcliffe

 

Saxon Sundial at Kirkdale

St Gregory's church sundial had 8 hours and was made before the Norman conquest....it's in a tranquil setting in the valley bottom. Above it, up a 1 in 5 hill is the Kirkdale cave, where remains of hyenas were found. This place has history!

 

Hutton-le-Hole to Rosedale Abbey

Zigzag barn stonework and boundary markers on the North York moors at Rosedale
