Is This Place For Real? - Whitby, England

We spent the day walking around Whitby, visiting the waterfront, the museum, and the abbey. What a pleasant surprise this town is! We started the day off with a stop at an overlook - great views of Whitby:

Looking back at Whitby, the mouth of the River Esk, which flows through the town and into the North Sea.

Whitby Beach - with a few brave souls venturing into the water!

We explored the West Pier.

One of the tour boats passed by while we were out on the pier.

One of the ornate gates out on the pier.

Memorial to Captain James Cook, a legendary explorer and cartographer who was born in nearby Marton, England.

St. Hilda's Catholic Church.

We checked out the Cinder Track - the British version of Rails-to-Trails. It was a lovely, level walk out into the countryside.

We walked along the Cinder Track for about 3 miles, before we decided to turn around when we reached the old aqueduct.

We headed back into town, hoping to make it to the Whitby Museum before the rain started. We made it just in time and spent a couple of hours checking out the museum.

The top two pictures are exhibits of the multitude of prehistoric fossils found in the Whitby area. The third picture shows a display of items made from Whitby Jet. Whitby Jet is a gemstone "that is formed when prehistoric wood gets washed up into a body of water and becomes covered by organic sediment - the pressure of the water and sediment over millions of years compacts the wood and slowly transforms it into the beautiful black jet".

I was touched by this incredible story - we learned so much in our travels about how people's lives were impacted by different wars.

We successfully waited out the midday storm in the safety of the museum. When we emerged the skies were clearing and the sun was trying to break through. We decided to explore a little more and made our way over to Whitby Abbey for more incredible views.

Pictured above (top to bottom): the first two are pictures of the Church of St. Mary (built in the 12th century, the graveyard was referenced in the novel Dracula), the bottom three pictures are of Whitby Abbey - which dominates the skyline over Whitby. The abbey was built in 657 AD, the ruins on the site today are from the Benedictine Monastery (which was suppressed by Henry VIII in 1539).

We ended our wonderful day of exploration by stopping in at Humble Pie 'n' Mash Shop (quite an historic building, according to the sign posted inside the restaurant) and getting take-away to enjoy back at our Airbnb - the pies were amazing!

We went to Whitby on the goth weekend 2023 (WGW) and toured the beautiful seaside town and harbor. We explored the graveyard of Church of St Mary and then the famous Whitby Abbey made famous by Bram Stoker's Dracula. Unfortunately the captain cook museum was closed.

Dragons, drakkar and Northmen from 'Paean to Whitby', which I'm in the process of mounting and framing. Limited Editions of 'Paean' are going to be on sale at The Captain Cook Museum' in Whitby from February onwards. As the musem gets quite a few tourists from Down Under (the Cook connection for those not 'in the know'), she may even end up in Australia or New Zealand. Wow, that'd be something. ⚓️🪓 #whitbyharbour #whitbyheritage #whitbytown #northmen #yorkshirehistory #vikinghistory #vikingsofinstagram #drakkar #captaincook # #cooksjourney #greatexplorations #yorkshireexplorer #vikingship #dragonsofinstagram #knotwork #celticart #blackandwhiteart #illustrationarts #captaincookmuseum #whitbytourism #cookinaustralia #australiahistory #whitbyart #whitbyartist #anthonyhodgsonart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-DGlkMRAm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Whitby

A good place to try and escape the worst of the heat on one of the hottest days ever in the UK, there’s more to Whitby than most English seaside towns, despite the usual over abundance of shirtless men, giant seagulls, and ever present smell of fish and chips. Amazingly people have lived here for at least 3,000 years.

Overlooking the town is the evocative Whitby Abbey, the third ruined abbey…

Potrait of James Cook (1728-1779) by William Hodges

James Cook one of the greatest navigators, defined the first navigator of the modern age, when the ideals of gold and the cross disappeared, the voyage of exploration moved in the name of science and reason.

Captain Cook - oil on canvas by John Webber 1776

James Cook (27 October 1728 - February 14 1779). Cook was the first to map the island of Newfoundland, before embarking on three voyages in the Pacific Ocean during which he made the first European contact with the coasts of Australia and Hawaii, as well as the first oficial circumnavigation of New Zealand.

Potrait Elizabeth Batts Cook by William Henderson 1742-1835

>In 1762 he married Elizabeth Batts, and because of his seafaring activity he spent only a few years with her.<

Little more than a teenager, Cook joined the British merchant navy and enlisted in the Royal Navy in 1755. He took part in the Seven Year's war, which involved the main European powers of the time, and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the mouth of the St. Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec. The skill shown in this task helped bring Cook to the attention of the Admiralty and the Royal Society.

HMS Endeavour. - It was a pivotal moment both in Cook's career and in British overseas direction and exploration, culminating in his 1766 appointment as commander of the ship HMS Endeavour, aboard which he made the first of is three voyages in the Pacific Ocean.

Captain Cook's ship, 'the Resolution', leaving whitby, England - by Michael J. Whitehand

James Cook and Botanist Joseph Banks examining the wild life and flora in Botany Bay.

On these voyages, Cook sailed thousands of miles in areas of the globe then largely unexplored. Combining seafaring art, courage and the ability to effectively lead men in adverse conditions, as well as a great cartographic talent he reached unknown and dangerous areas which he mapped, recording for the first time on European nautical charts the position of several islands and unexplored coasts, examining them and describing its characteristics.

A general chart of the island of Newfoundland. Surveyed by James Cook and Michael Lane 1775.

Him maps map the coasts of numerous territories, from New Zealand to Hawaii, with a precision of detail and a scale of representation never before archieved. In 1779, Cook was Killed in Hawaii in a violent confrontation with the natives on his third exploratory voyage to the Pacific.

Reflecting back, I’m continually amazed we managed to fit in so much travelling and sightseeing with Barry’s elder brother Ray in just over three weeks. This post only covers five days as we head up to Scotland via the east of the country, and back down the west.

From Worcester, where we left the last post, we headed northwards on the idyllic Droitwich Canal. Once again, Ray worked the locks alone as I beavered away inside building a Google Ads account. We moored in the secure basin in the town, hoping to find a way to stay for five days. Sadly they’re only 48 hour moorings, and a call to CRT confirmed no leeway on this apart from emergencies. We were so grateful to CRT for supporting us remaining at Tarleton for a week or so, after mum died unexpectedly in May, so knew it was possible in such cases. We didn’t wish to blot our copybook by overstaying ‘illegally’.

As I’ve said previously, Ray had a number of ‘bucket list’ experiences he hoped to achieve whilst in the northern hemisphere, and we wanted to do all we could to make them happen. However, having not traded at any festivals in 2018 thus far (early August), we’d been surviving on savings and the small income I was building up from Ad-Extra. We’d also left the boat for five days a few times already for various excursions, and our batteries were complaining loudly! I hear some of you saying “Get some Solar Panels“, and we heartily agree. It’s just that we don’t have the spare cash to invest in them just now.

Being mindful of all of this, we decided only one of us would accompany Ray on his journey around the country. Actually, Barry decided at the last minute – which to be honest was a little disconcerting for me. I’d hoped the two blokes would go on the road trip together. Then I could’ve had a few days of chilling alone on the boat (a rare occurrence for me, unlike Barry who regularly gets this luxury!). But when Barry investigated hiring a car, he discovered he wouldn’t be insured on his NZ license. Having lived in UK for five and a half years, he needed to have applied for a UK licence after 12 months. Now I don’t like to say “I told you so”, but I really did! Many times. This time he believed me – and has even got the application form now. Better late than never aye?

An added advantage of Barry staying on board Areandare, was that he can solo-cruise, whereas I’m too scared to! I’m in awe and avid admiration of women who live alone of their boats, moving around the cut seemingly fearlessly. Barry was able to move the boat from Droitwich to Birmingham, doing an astounding 50 locks, while we went on our jolly around England and Scotland.

Listening in to Space

Our route initially took us in a northeasterly direction, with the first stop on Wednesday 8th August at Jodrell Bank. I knew little about this attraction. Ray sounded like an authority on the subject, and in his element. If you don’t know what it is either – it’s basically a massive telescope (the Lovell Telescope), pointing into space, picking up sound waves. Consequently there’s a radius around the area with a ban on mobile phones or anything similar switched on. In actual fact, I found it rather interesting. I’m a bit of a star gazer. So the experience sparked an interest in me.

I also realised when we were there, that my eldest daughter, Lisa had been here for the BlueDot festival just a couple of weeks before, when I had Leon for the weekend. What a small world it is.

Beatrix Potter Country

Next on the route was the Lake District. On a friend’s recommendation, I’d booked overnight accommodation for us at a YHA on the shore of Windermere. I desperately want to say ‘Lake’ Windermere, but Ray rightly corrected me. It’s a mere, not a lake. A mere I’ve discovered, is generally described as a lake that is fairly shallow compared to its relative size.

The building and location was superb; staggering to believe it’s a ‘Youth Hostel’. To be fair the YHA have come a long way since they initially began in 1929, when my dad was nine years old. I know both my parents frequented such hostelries in their youth, especially those in the Lakes and Yorkshire. As children they took us too. So I have many fond memories. One was at Carbisdale Castle in Invershin in the Scottish Highlands, when I was almost 13 years old. It remained a YHA until 2011, when it was sold privately.

“YHA is a child of the Great Depression. The welfare of Britain’s growing urban population was a serious concern in the early 20th century. YHA’s offer of affordable accommodation was an antidote to the poor air quality, cramped housing and harsh conditions of inner city life. It gave young working people an unprecedented opportunity to spend leisure time in fresh air and open countryside, on a scale only previously possible for the wealthy.” https://www.yha.org.uk/about-yha/history

Roman ruins nearby

Sadly we had only one night in this spectacular part of the country. We’d stayed nearby in March 2013, when we first arrived back, for mum’s 80th. It was beautiful in a different way then, as the ground was blanketed in snow. Barry, of course, took some stunning shots …

Two stops en route to Oban

Coffee stop in Keswick

We chose to take a slightly longer route northwards, on Thursday, to relish a little more of the scenery. A stop in Keswick for coffee, and our monthly Ad-Extra team Skype call in the car park! It would’ve been unimaginable not so long ago to be able to have a business meeting wherever you may be at the time.

Then a longer drive up to Paisley, to the new home of Margaret and Graham. These gorgeous people are blog readers, who visit us at Huddlesford when we’re trading there. I’d chatted a number of times via email to Graham, as we planned Ray’s itinerary, and he provided an abundance of helpful advice for our short foray into the Highlands.

Margaret, Graham and I looking out over the lake

Margaret and Ray walking up the garden with the view that sold the house!

Graham shared invaluable advice about routes to take to our next port of call, Oban, as well as most scenic ways eastwards a couple of days later. Oh, and Margaret made a delicious lunch for the not yet weary travellers. Thank you so much both, it was a very special couple of hours that I shall treasure, and I know Ray was enormously grateful for your wealth and breadth of knowledge.

The drive from Paisley to Oban was breathtaking. Graham had advised a route which cut out much of the heavy holidaymaker traffic, and we were both mesmerised. The photos, especially those from the car (!), certainly don’t do it justice.

And then there was Oban. Oh. My. Goodness. What an incredibly beautiful place.

Once again there was sparse time to do justice to the magnificence of this seaside settlement. Having booked accommodation very late in the day, we were extremely fortunate to get anywhere. Scotland was heaving with visitors. The place I chose was ‘Backpackers Plus in the old Church‘. Amazing! Although Ray and I were in shared dormitories, as that was all that was left, we loved the ambience of the lounge area. And for £24 per person per night, it included a buffet breakfast. Cereal and toast, nothing outrageous, but more than enough. There was an array of spices to share in the kitchen, and, similar to YHA Windermere, there was a wide age-range of guests, so no matter how old you could feel ‘at ease’ here.

Ray’s main reason for visiting Oban was their distillery. Sadly I never took a photo of the building as it’s not likely to ever feature in a bucket list of mine! Neither Barry nor I like whisky. However the distillery it seems is the reason there’s a town here at all. Two brothers began distilling here in 1794, not long after Captain Cook landed in Gisborne, New Zealand (1769 to be accurate). If you’re keen to know more, go to the website (https://www.malts.com/en-row/single-malt-whisky-history/oban/) and fill your boots as Barry would say!

The Friday of our break was the only day I didn’t drive. In the five days we were off the boat, we traversed an incredible distance of 1,200 miles. Blimey. A bit of a whistle stop sightseeing tour!

North, east, and south

The following day, having relished fish and chips AND haggis by the sea, we chose a circuitous route north through Glencoe (apparently with volcanic origins) and the Highlands, and some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable. It was a tragedy that there was hardly any chance of stopping anywhere to gaze in wonderment, or take photos, as everywhere was packed with cars and people also enjoying the views. I intend to return here with time to leisurely sit and embrace the beauty.

Ray wanted to visit another distillery,  recommended by Graham – Glengoyne Distillery near Killearn, north of Glasgow. No photos once again! It’s not difficult to tell who was more interested in all things whisky …

Our aim for the day, including the stops, was to make it as far as Whitley Bay near Sunderland, as we’d booked overnight accommodation there. We’d attempted to book somewhere closer to no avail. Scotland was full.

After a while I spotted a sign for Falkirk. Knowing what wonders lay in this place, there was no way I could drive past without giving Ray the opportunity to see two of the wonders of the waterways. So we did. Only a slight detour off the route. Once we’d seen the Falkirk Wheel in action, nestled equidistant 23 miles from Edinburgh and Glasgow, it was a just short jaunt to the Kelpies.

Barry and I had been here in July 2017, when our friend Sandra Willis hired three narrowboats for a six-day cruise. Sadly, due to a number of challenges around that time, we never did write a blog post or publish any of Barry’s fabulous photos. Mine pale into insignificance …

Ray pushes the wheel to start it – just kidding!

Putting it into perspective

The view INSIDE one of the Kelpies (thank you to Graham

Such a shame the sky was so grey when we visited.

However. I’ve found a few of Barry’s photos with a blue sky from July 2017. Rather a dramatic difference I think you’d agree?!

Next stop Whitby

We finally arrived in Whitley Bay after 8pm on Saturday 11th August. My parents had grown up hereabouts, and it’s always nostalgic for me to return. Not that we saw much of the area apart from a walk along the seafront and an Indian meal.

The following morning we rose fairly early and headed off, stopping for breakfast on the way. Our mission was Whitby, another connection to Gisborne, as Captain Cook sailed from here on his voyage to New Zealand. In recognition of all his accomplishments, there’s a Captain Cook Museum in the town.

I wasn’t prepared for the brilliance of this place either. It too was teeming with tourists enjoying the sights and smells of the quaint seaside town.

Captain Cook Museum

Anyone from the southern hemisphere would find this Cook tribute of interest. The letter below shares James’s first impressions of the country in the late 18th century …

Another thing Whitby is famous for of course is its seafood – I treated myself to some crayfish tails. Tiny in comparison to those I got used to in Gisborne, but tasty nonetheless.

There’s some spectacular views of Whitby following a walk of 198 steps to the Abbey, and another YHA adjacent to it! A place to stay in future maybe?

Whitby seafood

Whitby YHA next to the Abbey

Last but not least a quick peak at York

I still can’t quite comprehend how we squeezed so much into such a short space of time. After a full day by the sea we drove across the Yorkshire moors (another feast for the eye!) and down to York. We’d booked a rather plusher hotel for the final night of the trip, a short drive out of the city.

We took the car in at night for a wander and a Sunday roast – including of course a Yorkshire Pudding! It’d be rude not to when in the city of its name …

On the Monday we took the park and ride bus for more of an explore and a walk of some of the wall still surrounding much of the city.

Barry and I had been here in 2009, on our inaugural live-aboard six-month journey in the north of the system.

What does this remind you of?

The astute among you will spot a famous face in the stone – one I’d noticed in 2009 that Barry had photographed and turned into an unusual picture. I was ecstatic to find it again. Am I the only person to see this resemblance? I’m not sure who ‘owns’ Barry’s framed photo design now, it was one of the ones we sold at auction before leaving in 2013. If anyone reading knows please comment – it’d be amazing to get a photo of the face in the wall on someone’s wall!

On the way back to Barry and the boat, we took another turn and welcomed the chance to see Helen and Gav again in Guiesley, near Leeds. They’re following our footsteps a little returning to England after living for a number of years in Gisborne, and doing their best to step off the hamster wheel that most people find themselves stuck on until ‘retirement’. We shared our Calendar Club experiences with them,  that the Leeds store was looking for Operators, and they’ve applied and been accepted. We know they’ll be outstanding Operators and sell oodles of calendars, diaries, mugs and anything else that’s sent their way. Good luck guys!

We got back on board Areandare and Barry the evening of Monday 13th August, across the road from the Arena Birmingham (I do find it strange they’ve chosen to call it that rather than Birmingham Arena?).

You’d think that’d be the end of travelling around with Ray now? Well almost. But not quite …

Summer Visitors part 4c - to Scotland and back in five days Reflecting back, I'm continually amazed we managed to fit in so much travelling and sightseeing with Barry's elder brother Ray in just over three weeks.

A flashback to 2015, when I visited Whitby. Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, northern England, split by the River Esk. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for “Dracula”. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum, in the house where Cook once lived, displays paintings and maps. West of town is West Cliff Beach, lined with beach huts. {Source Wikipedia} #whitby #stroll #photo #outdoors #fujifilm #greatoutdoors #tonywisemanphotography #tonywiseman #wikipedia #yorkshire #england #gothic #captaincook #flower #plants #flowers #orange #green 14-09-15 - Whitby Stroll Around (at Whitby, North Yorkshire Coast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrFr6jl5ll/?igshid=mpnanqc4ovvu

斯卡伯勒码头、港口与城堡（Jrobin08/维基，CC BY 3.0）

【希望之声2019年11月27日】（编译：吴永健）斯卡伯勒（Scarborough ）在哪？也许有好几个这样的名字。您要去斯卡伯勒集市吗？说的是北英格兰约克郡（Yorkshire）的斯卡伯勒（Scarborough ）。这座城市不仅历史悠久，而且还为游客提供了英格兰第一个海滨度假胜地的壮丽景色。

从1946年到1968年，有一首歌曲很流行：《斯卡伯勒集市 》（ Scarborough Fair），这首传统经典的英语民谣成了历史的记载，存在多个版本广为传唱，曾作为第40届奥斯卡提名影片《毕业生》（The Graduate）的插曲，曲调凄美婉转，触人心弦。

“您要去斯卡伯勒集市吗? 芜荽，鼠尾草，迷迭香和百里香，代我向那儿的一位姑娘问好，她曾经是我的爱人，叫她替我做件麻布衣衫……”

斯卡伯勒位于英格兰北部的约克郡，面朝北海，背靠不列颠岛，一座历史悠久、风景如画的海滨小镇，宛如世外桃源。

在中世纪的斯卡伯勒集市上，根据1253年的皇家特许状，举办为期六周的集市，吸引了来自欧洲各地的商人。它从8月15日的“圣母升天日”（Assumption Day）一直持续到9月29日的“圣米迦勒节”（Michaelmas Day）。从13世纪到18世纪，这个集市持续了500年，并在《斯卡伯勒集市 》这首歌中进行了纪念。

斯卡伯勒城堡

斯卡伯勒城堡曾是英格兰北约克郡的中世纪的王家城堡，坐落在岩石海角俯瞰北海和斯卡伯勒。

斯卡伯勒城堡的废墟（Wikipedia/Scott Rimme）

如果您对军事历史感兴趣，那么宏伟的斯卡伯勒城堡就有许多看点。这座前中世纪的堡垒由亨利二世（Henry II）建造，在内战中两次被围困，并在第一次世界大战中遭到攻击。该遗址可追溯到3,000年前，曾经是铁器时代堡垒，罗马占领区和维京（Viking）人定居点的所在地。

斯卡伯勒城堡这份英国遗产吸引了许多游客登上城垛，欣赏美景，并享受随之而来的互动展览和特别活动。

斯卡伯勒值得一游的还包括圆形建筑博物馆（Rotunda Museum）和以东方为主题的Peasholm公园，这是英国最好的绿色空间之一，也是海军战争的故乡。

来到斯卡伯勒，顺道一览美丽多姿的约克郡。从荒野的沼泽地和崎岖的悬崖，到沙滩和明信片式的海滨小镇，约克郡海岸既美丽又多样。

根据英国旅游局官网（Visit England）的统计，除伦敦以外，访问约克郡的人数超过英国其他任何地方。这很容易理解，约克郡河谷国家公园（Yorkshire Dales National Park）和“勃朗特国家”（ Bront? Country）的文学兴趣依然是该地区的重要景点，而且约克郡海岸同样具有吸引力。

从Spurn Point到Saltburn的海岸线，绵延了100多英里，以长廊和码头拉开了该国的恋情，其景观从北约克郡国家公园的戏剧性变化到传统的维多利亚式海滨小镇的海滩。海岸线还拥有与勃朗特姐妹（Bront? sisters）媲美的文学联系。例如，爱尔兰作家布拉姆·斯托克（Bram Stoker）在这里找到了《德古拉》（Dracula）的创作氛围，而该地区还与罗宾汉（Robin Hood）的传说有关。

在这里，也有现实生活中的英雄。跟随英国最大的探险家詹姆斯·库克船长（Captain James Cook）的足迹，他将世界的这一部分称为自己的家，或者通过参观英国最长的蒸汽铁路来发现该地区的工程遗产。

惠特比

惠特比（Whitby）位于约克郡的东海岸，面朝北海，坐落在埃斯克（River Esk.）河口的深谷中。

这个风景如画的海港虽然很小，但被誉为约克郡海岸“王冠上的明珠”，它拥有丰富的历史和文化，并以拥有世界上最好的炸鱼和薯条而著称、喜鹊咖啡馆（Magpie Café）和码头区使“英国美食”屡获殊荣，而“Trenchers”被评为2019年炸鱼和薯条奖最佳餐厅。

横跨埃斯克河的惠特比大桥（Whitby Bridge）开放，以允许通往上游港口的运输。（Wikimedia Commons/J3Mrs）

该镇被埃斯克河分为两部分，东部是旧城区，西部是维多利亚时代的遗迹。它最著名的地标是坐落在悬崖上，拥有1,360年历史的惠特比修道院（Whitby Abbey），俯瞰着海港和海滩。旧城区由狭窄的鹅卵石铺成的街道组成，您仍然可以沿着这条街道购买惠特比宝石（Whitby Jet），这是一种用于制造珠宝的当地矿物。从这里您可以步行119台阶到达圣玛丽（St Mary's）教堂。而在该镇的西部则是库克船长博物馆（Captain Cook Museum），这位探险家于1746年接受“学徒式”的训练。

布里德灵顿

布里德灵顿（Bridlington）位于位于伦敦以北179英里（288公里），距离斯卡伯勒东南16英里（26公里）。这是一个小型的海洋捕鱼港，以贝类而闻名。它在制造业，零售业和服务业中都有小型企业，夏季主要是旅游业。

布里德灵顿为2016年经典英国电视喜剧《爸爸的军队》（Dad’s Army）的背景，其金色沙滩和熙熙的港口令人惊叹。

哥特式小修道院教堂（Priory Church）位于中世纪老城区的中心。它建于公元113年，曾经是最伟大的修道院中世纪建筑之一。贝勒博物馆（Bayle Museum）中珍藏着布里德灵顿的遗产，并拥有许多人工制品，包括查理一世的妻子亨利埃塔·玛丽亚皇后（Queen Henrietta Maria）的手套。

布里德灵顿与弗兰伯勒岬角遗产（Flamborough Headland Heritage ）海岸接壤，那里是一处引人注目的悬崖峭壁，栖息着50万只海鸟，而弗兰伯勒岬（Flamborough Head）则是一座17世纪的灯塔，是英格兰唯一幸存的灯塔。

途中千万不要错过塞韦比大厅和花园（Sewerby Hall and Gardens ），它着实令人惊叹。连同动物园，其历史可以追溯到格鲁吉亚（Georgian Era）早期。

克里夫兰大道

克里夫兰大道（Cleveland Way）长109英里，从赫尔姆斯利（Helmsley）内陆开始，然后穿过充满石南花的北约克郡高沼国家公园（North York Moors National Park），一直延伸到海上萨特本（Saltburn-by-the-Sea）。

从这里开始，这条小径横穿该国最美丽的��岸线，并到达英格兰一些最高的悬崖（小径的最高点是海拔1,300英尺），途中到达菲力（Filey），这是许多漂亮的小城镇和渔村之一。一路上，还应注意欣赏伦斯威克湾（Runswick Bay）的红屋顶小屋和桑德森（Sandsend）广阔的海滩。

小径本身的亮点包括英格兰最强大的“白衣修士”（Cistercian）修道院之一，Rievaulx修道院的废墟。白马刻在基尔本附近的山坡上；库克船长的纪念碑，高60英尺的方尖碑，坐落在北约克郡最高的山丘之一的上面。

斯泰思

斯泰思（Staithes）是英格兰北约克郡、斯卡伯勒小镇的海滨村庄。以前是英格兰众多钓鱼中心之一，现在主要是北约克郡湿地国家公园内的一个旅游胜地。

这个古朴的渔村有着紧密的小屋和蜿蜒的街道，不仅以儿童电视节目《老杰克的船》（Old Jack’s Boat）的设置而闻名， 而且还是约克郡的艺术家之都。美丽的乔治亚时代美术馆（Georgian Staithes Gallery）展示了受该地区启发的众多当代艺术作品。

詹姆斯库克小屋(The James Cook Cottage)也在这里。探险家出生在马尔顿（Marton），距斯泰思约25英里，但他于1744 年移居该村，为商人威廉·桑德森（William Sanderson）工作。

萨特本悬崖缆车

英格兰最古老的萨特本悬崖缆车（Saltburn Cliff Lif）位于迷人的沿海城市萨特本海滨。修建于1884年的水上缆车铁路将游客带到镇上的悬崖脚下，那里有600英尺长的维多利亚时代码头等待着您。这座二级建筑是英格兰东北部唯一幸存的游乐码头，坐拥萨特本如画的风景。

该镇拥有一些令人印象深刻的维多利亚式建筑和美丽的迷宫般的山谷花园，，还有一群编织者（Yarnbombers），他们分散在城镇各处，进行羊毛创作和纱线编织，是一种类型的涂鸦或街头艺术。

乌鸦厅

建于1774年的拉文斯卡（Ravenscar）乌鸦厅乡村别墅酒店（Raven Hall Country House and Hotel），曾经由国王乔治三世（King George III）的医生拥有，据说是他为因抑郁症发作的君主安置的。这座典雅的历史建筑有55间套房，位于海拔600英尺的高空，可让宾客欣赏罗宾汉湾（Robin Hood’s Bay）的壮丽景色。

乌鸦厅（Raven Hall）理想地位于惠特比和斯卡伯勒之间，同时游客还可以探索拉文斯卡明矾工厂（Ravenscar Alum Works）的考古遗迹，在那里对明矾（Alum）进行染色和鞣制。

罗宾汉湾

这是一个小渔村和海湾，坐落在英格兰北约克沼泽国家公园，距离惠特比的南部5英里（8公里）和斯卡伯勒的北部15英里（24公里）。

传说，民间英雄罗宾汉（Robin Hood）阻止了抢劫的海盗，这个村庄现在被称为罗宾汉湾（Robin Hood's Bay）。尽管没有确凿的证据，但故事却增添了这个田园渔村的魅力，并解释了这个名字。

可以确定的是，在18世纪期间，海湾是偷渡者走私杜松子酒，白兰地，茶，烟草和法国蕾丝在黑市上出售的一个热点。当走过村子里蜿蜒曲折的迷宫般的街道时，您可以想像得到，逃避关税是多么容易。

斯普林灯塔

斯普林（Spurn）是一个狭窄的沙质潮汐岛，位于英格兰约克郡东骑马县的海岸末端，直达北海。

约克郡野生动物基金会（Yorkshire Wildlife Trust）拥有这个引人注目的3.5英里长的自然保护区，是一条长长的沙嘴，一直延伸到亨伯河口（Humber Estuary）。斯普林游猎（Spurn Safaris）为游客提供机会，使他们只能步行或骑自行车游览保护区，并有机会在区域内进行带导游的游览，包括探索中心和修复后的灯塔。

远处的斯普林点灯塔（维基）

斯普林灯塔（Spurn Point）是最佳的迁徙地点之一，是蜻蜓，蝴蝶和欧洲狍的野生动物天堂，尤其是在春天山花烂漫时。它的特征被世界一流的地质学界，把约克郡海岸的这一部分昵称为“恐龙海岸”，因此在该保护区猎取到化石会特别受欢迎。

No matter what your passion, there is something exciting for you in Marlborough this autumn. In addition to all the adventure activities, offering countless opportunities to get up close and personal with the region’s magnificent wildlife, there are amazing things to see, do and taste across this vibrant and fascinating region.

The rich food sources in the Marlborough Sounds and the shelter they offered against bad weather meant that early Maori and Europeans found this region to be very welcoming for settlement. As a result, Marlborough is also steeped in history – and there’s much to see and experience among the many museums of Marlborough.

Here are a few to whet your appetite for discovery.

In Picton

The Picton Museum on London Quay is open daily from 10am to 4pm and houses a display of around 2000 items of Maori, whaling and maritime heritage. The museum is well worth a visit, enabling you to take a peek into the fascinating history of Picton and the Marlborough Sounds.

The Edwin Fox Maritime Museum at Dunbar Wharf holds the hulk of the Edwin Fox, purportedly the world’s ninth-oldest surviving wooden ship, the world’s second oldest surviving merchant sailing ship and the only surviving ship that transported convicts to Australia. How’s that for credentials?! Built in India in 1853, the Edwin Fox had a checkered history, including carrying troops to the Crimean War, convicts to Australia and immigrants to New Zealand – and she ended her days as a freezer ship. She arrived in Picton on 12 January 1897 and has been here ever since, and is now preserved under cover as a prominent tourist attraction.

The National Whale Centre on London Quay reflects the fact that whales and whaling have featured prominently in New Zealand’s economic and cultural life over the centuries. In fact, the Marlborough Sounds was the epicentre of New Zealand’s 19th and early 20th century whaling enterprises. The area also has the only substantially refurbished whaling station in the country near Tory Channel.

At Ship Cove

The history of Europeans in New Zealand, and Marlborough in particular, has a lot to do with the arrival of intrepid discoverer Captain James Cook. Ship Cove, around 90km by road from Picton (there are also many operators who will take you there by boat) is widely regarded as Captain Cook’s favourite base during his wide-ranging voyages around New Zealand in his ship the Endeavour.

The cove was already valued by Maori as a place of shelter close to the open sea, and it provided Cook with a secure anchorage with good wood, water and fishing to provision his vessel and help his crew recuperate after the many months at sea. Captain Cook spent a total of 170 days in Ship Cove, between his first visit in 1770 and his final one in 1777. In fact, Cook spent more time in these waters than in any other place on earth, other than in his home town of Whitby in England.

There is an informative display at the site covering the stories of the Maori and Captain Cook in the area. So, why not pop up to Ship Cove and get a sense for yourself of what it must have been like for earlier arrivals in the Marlborough Sounds?

Near Picton

Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre Just down the road from Tigers Den luxury lodge, at 79 Aerodrome Rd in Blenheim, you’ll find a truly amazing museum – the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre. In fact, The Sydney Morning Herald called it the “Best Museum in the World”.Open daily from 10am to 4pm, the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre is all about man-made things that fly, in particular from the first and second world wars. However, it’s the presentation of this history that is the real clincher, and for good reason.The displays are visually stunning, thanks in no small part to the fact that Sir Peter Jackson, who is an avid World War I aviation collector, not only lent some of his collection to the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre but he also sent experts from his Weta Workshop and Wingnut Films to create the sets that put these displays in a class of their own. You simply have to see them to believe them!

Reviews of the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre on Tripadvisor include statements such as “Simply Excellent – this is a must see museum… The exhibits are absolutely amazing as to be expected given Sir Peter Jackson and Sir Richard Taylor’s input and support. Highly recommended”, and “Located outside of Blenheim this aviation museum is a must see” and “This was a great museum. The displays are cinematic quality and the memorabilia and films make the museum experience come alive.”

The Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre is definitely one for your Must See list during your visit to Marlborough.

Omaka Classic Cars Situated next to the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre on the outskirts of Blenheim, Omaka Classic Cars showcases classic cars from the 1950s to the 1980s, and gives a fascinating glimpse into our motoring history.So, if you’re into large, stylish grilles and lots of chrome, then you’d better add this one to your Must See list too. The collection of around 110 vehicles includes an extensive range, from Austins to Zodiacs, and changes every couple of months. Omaka Classic Cars is open daily from 10am to 4pm.

Marlborough Museum Brayshaw Heritage Park is located just a five minute drive from the centre of Blenheim. Here you’ll find the Marlborough Museum (open daily from 10am to 4pm) with an inspiring collection of items that tell the story of Marlborough, in particular its wine-making history. So it’s a good idea to check it out before you head off to visit the wineries or explore other historic Marlborough sites.Reviews of the Marlborough Museum on Tripadvisor include statements such as “A museum dedicated to the wine industry – the Marlborough Museum is primarily composed of two sections. The first, which occupies by far the majority of the available space, deals with viticulture, or the local wine industry. This is also its most important feature, as it is probably the only museum in the area to do so, and to relate to the area’s largest industry” and “This is a small museum but the wine making exhibit was very good.”Stepping outside the Museum, there’s also a lot to see and do in Brayshaw Heritage Park itself, including a visit to Beaverton, a replica street scene from the early days of Blenheim.

A flashback to 2015, when I ventured to Whitby. #whitby #northyorkshire #england #uk #wikipedia #photo #outdoors #tonywisemanphotography #tonywiseman #fujifilm #seaside #cliffs #rocks #sea #waves #sky #clouds Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, northern England, split by the River Esk. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for “Dracula”. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum, in the house where Cook once lived, displays paintings and maps. West of town is West Cliff Beach, lined with beach huts. {Source Wikipedia} 15-09-15 - Panett Park & Whitby Museum (at Whitby, North Yorkshire Coast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlOxEYFv_x/?igshid=11zgm7sqpwszz
