More marina

Another view over Whitby Marina on the River Esk taken from The Ropery on the east side of the town. Whitby town centre is five minutes walk to the right.

Low water, dull day

Looking up the Esk Valley from Whitby Youth Hostel garden.

Overlooked

A Ropery chimney stack on Whitby's east side overlooks the inner marina and the Coop superstore below Fishburn Park. 

Snowy moors

There is a lot more snow on the hills at the moment than in this picture, but this one nevertheless gives an idea of the situation of the town from the other direction, showing why it is so easily cut off in bad weather. We have already looked up the coast towards Sandsend Nab, the section of headland jutting out into the sea where, not surprisingly,  the sands end.

I mentioned the marina yesterday: it is clearly visible here, just below centre left, viewed from St Mary's church yard, just after the top of the 199 steps. If you've been following these pictures, you'll know that the cobbled Donkey Path is just over the wall.
