We cycled the Cinder Path from Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay. I chickened out of cycling down this steep road and took the steps instead. It was a delightful criss-crossing of little paths and steps leading off the main route interspersed with shops and eating places. At the bottom was a cobbled, rocky path towards the sea and the incoming tide. We stopped off for a fisherman's platter for lunch, before making our way back to the top.
@ludwigsdiana Oh no, why is that? I guess there are areas that are just too dangerous? Actually cars are now banned from going down the road to Robin Hood's Bay as there is no parking or turning space, just residents only. It does mean that it's safe for pedestrians to walk down though.
@busylady Many of our friends have been mugged and their bicycles stolen! It is not even safe on major roads with traffic as nobody will stop. These thugs are usually armed and dangerous. We live in a first world/ third world Judith :-(
A lovely shot of this beautiful quaint village. My first camping experience was in a field above the village. The shore at the end of the road marks the finish of the Coast to Coast walk. Lots of interest there.
Sorry that you struggled a bit with photos at Pickering railway station. The roof does make it much more challenging than it used to be. Tends to be easier later in the day when the sun shines from the west. It is a very quiet station at the moment with the reduced service due to fire risk.
Great street scene with a lovely ttree.
