At the end of June, we went
to North Yorkshire for a long weekend. |
We visited Bempton cliffs,
with its noisy colonies of Gannets, Kittiwakes, Puffins
and other seabirds which usually nest on isolated islands. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
We also went to Pickering, a terminus
of the
North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway,
where we saw an ex-Southern Railway
"Schools" class locomotive, "Repton". |
|
|
|
| |
|
Bruce in downtown Pickering. |
| |
| |
We visited Scarborough,
where Bruce's great grandfather lived.
He was a bricklayer - did he build the Grand Hotel?
We decided that he must have... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
Then a trip to a rather
wet and dark Whitby. |
|
| |
|
| |
It was also very wet at
Riveaulx Abbey, but we managed to dodge the rain for a bit. |
|
|
|
|
| |
Then the Riveaulx Terraces,
with its two Greek style temple follies and views over the
Abbey. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The unusual gardens of Scampston,
designed by Piet Oudolf. |
