Whitby Abbey, Whitby Church and Nunnington Hall

For some reason I have never made it to Whitby........

I could have walked down the 199 steps to the town but I guessed it might be full of tourists and I had come for one thing

821 St Mary, Whitby

looks more like a ship inside.....

much of Bram Stoker's Dracula was set in Whitby and you can't help but notice that big brooding Abbey!!

Again I could have headed into town but I fancied a lazy day so headed back to Nunnington Hall to sit about reading my book....

Mr Quacks a bit disappointed that there were no ducks on the river

I will admit to a bit of suspicion that the scone may have seen a microwave (I may be mistaken) but it was definitely tasty....

and earned the kudos....

Taking a pic of Quacks in an NT restaurant when you are 51 is a bit sad eh :)

Now Nunnington would be on no one's list of great Country Houses but it is a pleasant one and nice to visit with its pretty garden,

Cecil the Lion anyone??

Servants quarters!

Now this was a find!!

Yup we enjoyed our day.
