We have crossed over from the west coast to the east coast, Irish Sea to the North Sea a drive of around 4 hours. Today's trip out is onto the moors above Whitby to a village called Goathland otherwise known as Aidensfield in the tv show 'Heartbeat'. The first photo is a part of the moors called 'Hole of Horcum' a very scenic part of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
The steam train from Whitby to Pickering, a 20 mile journey, so popular they run 7 trains a day each way.
The Village of Goathland/Aidensfield with the old Ford Anglian police car.

The Goathland Hotel, better known as The Aidensfield Arms.

The view of Whitby from the top of Bluebank. The ruins of Whitby Abbey can be seen on the hill on the right first established by Hilda a princess sent by king Oswi of Northumbria in 657AD. These ruins date from the sacking of the Abbey in the 16th. century by Henry V111 when he was having is disagreements with the Pope.
