Whitby Pub, Grub and an old Abbey

28th August 2009

On our second day, having had a lazy start we walked to Whitby. Our plans were to have a wander round and walk the 199 steps to the Abbey.

Bob wonders if his legs can cope with the walk back down.

The view from which is great (if a little windy) and the excersise means they’ll be room for a fish and chip lunch mmmm. Obviously you’ll need to have a drink to wash down all the grub and our favourite place is The Jolly Sailor, which is a Samuel Smith’s Pub, so it means good beer at a bargain price.

MMMMMmmmmmm beer, that's what Bob likes best

Whitby and what it has to offer

27th August 2009

We decided that having not visited the area for a few years we’d head back up to Whitby to spend some time camping. My parents first introduced us to the Whitby area after they’d spent many years going on holiday there themselves and so a few years back we decided that we’d see what they were so entranced by. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to go back again. We went up on the Thursday and my parents would be coming up on the Saturday, which meant we had a few days to mill around and do some walking before being shown the sites and pubs (yay for pubs)

Having got there on the Thursday, we set up our tent on the Beacon Farm campsite (which is a great place to stay if you like ice-cream) and drove into Whitby – this meant we could get food and have a look around, Bob was particuarly thrilled to see a tall ship, The Grand Turk.
