I’ve been meaning to add a post about our weekend in Whitby. If you’ve never been it really is a beautiful part of the world – wild and unspoiled coast lines, narrow streets and ginnels, a busy fishing port and a ruined abbey. In fact, I wonder why The Famous Five never visited?

Anyway, here are some pics.

We stayed in a beautiful sea view apartment in a complex called Metropole Towers.

Metropole Towers started life as a hotel back in the early 1900s and has period features in abundance – grand corridors and stairways, ornate mirrors and vintage door bells.

The sea, the sea!

There are lots of back alleys like this. It reminds me a little bit of Hampstead but with beaches and less Prada.

It was a lovely weekend with lashings of sea and sunshine and not a smuggler or wrecker in site.
