There are some amazing things there.

Hit Robin Hood’s bay - if the tide is out, you can curl up in the center of a fossil ammonite. There are a bunch of them in the rocks that are nigh on 8 foot across.

The Giant’s footstep - it’s this really odd valley. People live in it. Almost perfectly circular and about 100 feet deep.

Our family farm is on the hills above Staithes. Been there for nearly 600 years now. Actually - the whole village of Staithes (pronounced steers) is pretty odd but worth a look. Isn’t a single household I am not related to.

Like I say - odd place.

Interesting: I’m talking to you in Yorkshire and talking on FB to someone in Cornwall. And they say the internet is bad!

Unlike most Americans who would like to retire to a hot climate with clear skies, I want to retire to a foggy, cold land with a 1,000 years of history.
