Goathland (Aidensfield) Station

Steam locomotive pictured at Goathland Station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway

We spend quite a lot of our holiday time at the various stations. They all have their own unique identity and watching these trains with their awesome power and strength is a privilege.

My hat goes off to the many volunteers that work so hard to keep this fantastic line open.

St Mary's Church

St Mary's Church in Whitby.

It's a MUST visit for us when we holiday in that area.

You can access by walking from the 'Abbey' car park, or if you're both brave and fit enough, via the "199 steps" stairway. It's not really as bad as it sounds.

Cleveland Way

Our holiday caravan is situated in the Cleveland Way Walk - so a quick pop down to the cliff produced this photograph

Walkers pass our van to enter and exit the path that forms the Walk

James Herriot (Alf Wight)

Again this year we managed to get along to one of those places we've always wanted to, but never quite managed.

This time is was the James Herriot Museum in Thirsk.

We're fans of the TV series 'All Creatures Great and Small'.

Another Museum I would thoroughly recommend.

Staff were extremely helpful and gave great advice on parking and where best to eat.

Museum itself takes about an hour to go around - good activities for younger children too.

York

As always, a visit to York is a MUST on our hols.

Starting with a little retail therapy at the 'Designer Outlets', and then park the car and walk in to the town proper.

A bite of lunch to reinforce us, and then we visit York Minster and the 'Shambles'

This year the temperature was in the 30 degrees centigrade making it very warm indeed.

Hornsea - A Holiday Visit

We took our normal run down to the Freeport at Hornsea as part of the holiday.

A little retail therapy is always welcome.

Always wanted to visit the Hornsea Folk Museum but this was the first year we managed to fit it in to our schedule

Great wee Museum, and very helpful and friendly staff.

If you find yourself in that area, I would heartily recommend a visit.
