We all know of the beauty of Yorkshire dales and its famous national park, where millions
of people visit each year. How about the Yorkshire coast though? Well, here we go.
Lets start from the north/ east side and head south.
Saltburn by the Sea has maintained much of its original charm as a Victorian seaside
resort including its pier, the colourful Italian Gardens and walks through Riftswood.
Saltburn has the oldest water balanced cliff tramway in Britain, linking the town with the
pier 120 feet below. Heading south and along the coast, Staithes has all the charm of
a place lost in time, this small North Yorkshire fishing village gives the appearance of
having grown out of the cliffs, the villages of Staithes and Cowbar are divided in two by
staithes beck, a small river that has carved a route from the moors to the sea.
A few miles further and we arrive at Whitby. Dominated by the cliff top ruins of a 13th
century Abbey, this quaint maritime town with its old cobbled streets, picturesque
houses and beautiful sandy beaches was once home of Captain James Cook
probably Whitby’s most famous inhabitant. From the old town of Whitby, 199 steps
lead up to the parish church of St. Mary, whose churchyard on Whitby's East Cliff gave
Bram Stoker the inspiration to write his world famous book Dracula.
Right next to it, Whitby Abbey is by far the best and most iconic Gothic Abbey in the UK
today. Below the West Cliff is 2.5 km of clean sandy beach ending at the picturesque
village of Sandsend. Located at the foot of Lythe Bank Sandsend is a picturesque village
with cottages set against a backdrop of cliffs and two meandering streams, which lead
to the sandy beach. Saltwick Bay is situated slightly to the south of the fishing town
of Whitby. It is famous for its fossils but also for its photogenic position.
On the southern side of the bay is the local icon "Black Nab" and the remains of the
wreck of the "Admiral Von Tromp". The many rock pools left by the receding tide also allow for the capture of reflections of Black Nab and amazing sunrise colours.
Robin hood’s bay. This former smugglers' den owes its reputation to its strategic position sitting below a steep cliff lapped by the sea.
It was ideal for such nefarious activities. And its rabbit warren of narrow tumbled streets and alleyways made it ideal for escaping the law. The coastal towns of the North Yorkshire Moors enjoyed their heyday in the 18th century and for several hundred years Whitby has been home to a highly successful fishing fleet. Today however, all these iconic east coast villages, have enjoyed the presence of photographers from all round the world. The mornings start early there and the sunrises are there for us to capture.
