Yorksire Trip in March 2012

In March we went to Yorkshire Moors for a week. We got really lucky with the weather with no rain and full sun for almost every day. Gorgeous time and wonderful places. We stayed at a railway cottage, which was lovely, even if we didn't get to see too many trains, as it was off season. Here are some pictures from our trip.

 While in Pickering, we took the steam train to Grosmont, where we stopped and went geocaching

View of Whitby harbour. Looking across the harbour toward East Cliff, you can see the view that inspired the fertile imagination of author Bram Stoker, who stayed in the Royal Hotel on the western side of Whitby while writing his famous novel, "Dracula"
