A Winding Street in Whitby UK

Another of the wonderful days I had in England, was at Whitby, on the North Sea. This is a small quaint, fishing village that clings to the cliff side and has the Eyre River providing a sheltered Harbour. Many tourists and people living in the area visit for a day and wander the winding streets and prowl on the beach, where you can have a donkey ride. The old demolished Roman Catholic Church ruins sit at the top of the cliff and make interesting photos. Along the fishing pier there are many tourist shops and some wonderful restaurants. We stopped in one for lunch, that specialized in seafood, and I had the fish pie. So delicious and fresh. In one of these winding cobblestone streets we found a Tea Shop and ordered Cream Tea. This means you get tea, and scones with coddled cream. It sounded wonderful but since it was the end of the day they were sold out. This was the Sherlock Holmes Tea Shop decorated in Holmes memorabilia and small little rooms with tea tables crammed inside, among the antiques. I am so glad my cousin decided to go for a drive, across the moors, with all the heather and visit Whitby. This oil painting is 11x14.
