Whitby Harbor


Whitby Harbor includes an old sailing ship, quite photogenic, but hard to get by itself.

Whitby Abbey

Whitby is not quite on the Wainwright Coast to Coast. But it is a part of the Cleveland Way. I walked towards it from Robin Hood's Bay to the Hawsker turnoff.

If I were to have completed the trek on the Cleveland Way to Whitby, I would have been right at the Abbey, a spectacular end to a spectacular walk.

[Photoshop Note: It's relatively easy to use Photoshop's perspective correction tool while cropping. But I've been puzzled about how to correct the elongation that results. My "Aha!" insight was to un-constrain the proportions and resample.]

Robin Hood's Bay Walk


The walk starts along the cliffs overlooking Robin Hood's Bay, proceeds to the Southern end of the Bay and up to Ravenscar Hotel. From there the return to Robin Hood's Bay village is along an old rail bed. The Motionbased track information is linked to the thumbnail to the left.

The go4awalk.com has really excellent maps and waypoint sets. Check here for the map on which this walk was based.
