Whitby
Arrived Whitby after several hours drive from Lake District. Settled into the Marine hotel on the river near the ocean. The hotel which is part of a pub is wonderful. This section of Whitby reminds me of the boardwalk at Ocean City, Md.
Tomorrow we leave for Bristol.
The original Whitby Abbey was destroyed by Danish raiders during the late 8th century.
The ruins of today's Whitby Abbey are the second monastery on this site built in 1540 and ultimately destroyed by German battle cruisers during WW1.
