Coast to Coast walk for the homeless. Day 15

Grosmont to Robin Hood’s Bay

Grosmont station

On the last day we we set off walking together from our B and B in Grosmont. Sadly, COVID seems to have had an effect on the town with the pub and several B and Bs suffering and in danger of closing down. This is bad news for the town as the tourists bring in a lot of money to the area.

There is a steam train running frequently through the town and the woods and moor land surrounding the area makes for happy walking. So. If you want a little break maybe try visiting this area.

The wildlife is abundant compared to the southeast with the noisy chatter of birds ever present in the day. Flocks of sparrows fly from hedge to hedge.

The woods are lush

Dating from the 18th century, we came across the Hermitage. The woods provided the hermit with food, fuel , shelter and building materials. And he seems to be doing alright!!!

The hermit of Falling foss
Whitby abbey was a constant companion during the day.
At the coast but still 3 miles to Robin Hood’s Bay!
And finally my ice cream
