Travel guide of Whitby Abbey
Last week, I got married! Straight after, the wife and I headed up to Whitby to enjoy each other’s company. I went for a walk one morning, and was met by glorious early sunshine. As I sat down on the pier, taking in the picturesque North Yorkshire views, I felt happier than I have in a long, long time. This picture really sums this feeling up for me, and I love how the grey of my trainers are bathed in sunlight against the turquoise sea.
Taken in December 2017, this is a landscape of Whitby Harbour on a clear, but cloudy day.
I was stood at the end of Whitby Pier in Yorkshire, England watching the sea fisherman. The pier has two levels and as I was on the upper one I had a great view of what was happening below. The light on the sea was amazing and as I looked down I saw a sneaky hand reaching towards the bag - to me it looked like he was trying to steal his mate’s fish or lunch.
The Whitby Abbey was the inspiration for Bram Stocker’s novel, “Dracula.” While we did not get bitten by vampires, we thought we were going to blow away in the wind this day! While our hair was whipping around in front of our eyes, we caught glimpses of the grass flowing as if it was made of water. The golden hues matched perfectly with the abbey ruins.
One of the only ways to get from one side of this small seaside town’s harbour to the other. The River Esk, which flows under the bridge and out to the North Sea has carved down through the landscape to create the coastal landscape of Whitby.

Its quite rare that we see snow in England before Christmas. It really brings our old towns to life and gives such a great atmosphere.

The Shambles in York feel as if you have walked straight onto a Harry Potter set. The hustle and bustle of people going in and out of the medieval shops and restaurants transported you through time.

Oil painting. Looking longingly across the empty lake. No boat, no bridge to carry me home.

Rainbow over the Yorkshire Dales, I was treated to the rainbow over this barn in the distant. I thought whoever's' barn it was would have a bit of luck that day.

Im a student, I live in London 9 out of the 12 months so when I visit home, there is no better feeling than breathing the fresh air and exploring my surroundings. Ashby Ville is a lake which took the life of one of my close friends when I was younger, the council took action and made the area safer and more environmentally friendly, it was great to explore the new land.

We were walking up a hill in the North Yorkshire countryside and I decided that this scene would make a beautiful image. I used an old Helios 44-2 to capture this landscape. It almost looks like a watercolour painting.

This stunning Waterfall in the north of England gave me nightmares. I honestly couldn’t fall asleep that night as the image of watching down from where it all starts, was so frightening. It was the most violent waterfall I’ve witnessed.
