Description
High on the cliffs above Whitby are the gaunt, imposing remains of Whitby Abbey. Founded in 657 by St. Hilda, Whitby Abbey has over the years been a bustling settlement. It was the home of Caedmon the poet, and the inspiration for Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula. It is about 4 miles from my home. I often walk up here to feel the history of this amazing place. It is a very peacefuI place to walk. I have a special friend who lives nearby! Blaize, who is a horse :-) So I visit the Abbey and my friend at the same time. Have a wonderful evening. I thank you for looking and for comments which are treasured. Hugs. Diane.

It loks the sort of place where lost thoughts gather, so a great place to collect them. A beauty, sad to see it in this condition though. At least they haven't made it a parking lot or mall yet.
