Off on a week’s holiday to Northumberland! We left about 8am and headed towards Uttoxeter and Derby and picked up the M1 north. Then towards York and Scarborough and stopping at Selby to look at the abbey (see photo). Quite a surprise, small but perfectly formed - and quiet. Spent about an hour there, picked up some bread and cakes and set off again. This time stopping at Lastingham church, would have been nice but they had a festival on so not many photos. We did get down into the crypt - which it is famous for - but not much else.
Then for a drive over the moors heading for Whitby - took some pictures of the parish church, then a bit of a walk round. Les went to get the camper while I got the fish and chips which we ate at Cowbar, our stop for the night. Weather has been mostly good and quite warm - looking forward to more tomorrow when we head further north.
