York and the Scarborough Coast

   We set out from just outside Bristol this morning and managed to get to York in one piece. The City of York is stunning and well worth the visit, from its 700 hundred year old keep to the lovely York Minister and the area known as the Shambles, York has much to offer its many visitors.

The Keep build in the early 1300s. The view from the top is worth the £4.40 entrance fee.

Inside the Keep.

On a hot day, about 25 today it is hard to imagine how hard it must have been to build the hill and then add a stone Keep to the top. Amazing to think that this is so old.

This area is known as the Shambles, and parts of it were used in the Harry Potter movie.

Some of the houses in the middle of the Alley almost touch at the top.

The York Minister a very large and beautiful Cathedral.

Some of the local wildlife. Cars and buses were very good at stopping when Mum took her young ones across the road.

Tea at The White House in Whitby just up the road from the B and B we are staying at. Our hostess is lovely and is looking after us very well. Think I might move in. The view again was stunning and we took a walk along the beach after dinner.

Along the way we found some more beach huts, although these ones are called chalets.

Finally we found this statue of Captain Cook, which a seagull decided to roost on just as I took the photo, comic timing.

Well that's us for today, lots of driving, lots of things to look at and as usual tired out and ready for bed.
