30th August 2009
Having spent the day before visiting Robin Hoods Bay (which is a lovely quaint place to visit), we received an invite to go along with Carrie’s parents and be shown some of the local places. The first place we were introduced to was Sandsend – We parked in a little carpark at the far end of Sandsend and did a lovely walk that had some great views.

what a view - and I've learnt how to stand unaided
After wandering along the old train track (disused now) to the tunnel that had been blocked off we headed back to the car and was taken to our next destination. On the way we did a slight detour and was shown the most amazing view which looked down upon a man-made lake.

Now that's a stunning view
Then we arrived at Cropton – We stopped at the The New Inn pub and had the most delicious lunch (mmmm chips) and sampled a few of the beers which are brewed in the Cropton brewery that ‘s attached to the pub. And for the beers you don’t get to try, you can see if they’ve got any bottled to take away.
