Monday morning during our holiday in Whitby was rather gloomy. But after breakfast, while everyone else was taking it easy in the cottage, I decided to go out for a wander over to the east side of the harbour.
After crossing the bridge I turned down Church Street and where I found myself irresistibly drawn into the rather good independent bookshop, The Whitby Bookshop. After a good browse I carried on down Church Street before turning down Henrietta Street which leads to the harbour piers. I passed the smokehouse, but decided against purchasing any kippers. I’m very fond of the smoked herring but didn’t want to stink out the cottage!
I reached the harbour and walked onto the walls
Taking care to avoid being blown off the wall by the strong wind, I snapped a few photos of the town under the moody sky.
I set off back towards the cottage,
Picking up a few supplies on the way.
After dinner, it had brightened up so leaving our daughter behind to catch up on some work for her course, the rest of us decided to walk over to the east side of the town to have a mooch in the shops and take a few photos under a sunnier sky
Down by the Dougie 
Great pictures of the pier and what looks like a cobbled jetty. I’ve only visited Whitby twice. I wrote about the Museum/Library/Pannett Park once upon a time.
I will wait patiently to see whether you also visited. 😉
We visited the museum during our previous visit 4 years ago (time flies) https://greatacre.wordpress.com/2017/08/04/whitby-museum/. Although it was on our list to revisit, we didn’t have time in the end.
So you did, what a useless memory I have.
Well I’ve done such a lot of posts Barbara I wouldn’t expect you to remember everything! Just pleased you keep reading and commenting on my ramblings. 😉
Always enjoy a walk around a harbour and out on to harbour walls
Same here – so long as I don’t get blown off into the sea 🤣 It was pretty windy that day!
Ohh I do miss Whitby. Looking lovely as ever in your photos. 🙂
Yes, too long since I was in Whitby. You’ve got me all nostalgic for past visits to that gorgeous stretch of coast, and hankering for a return.
I feel very relaxed with your walk along the jetty.
Yes very relaxing to walk out into the sea on the pier. A British tradition 😊 But I had to be careful not to get blown into the sea 😂
Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay would have to be my favourite places in England. Just so effortlessly beautiful! Love your post!
Thanks Malayalam. They certainly are very interesting and attractive places.
