Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.
So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

Whitby Abbey

Whitby Abbey is a ruined Benedictine abbey overlooking the North Sea on the East Cliff above Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. It was disestablished during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under the auspices of Henry VIII.
There is parking by the ticket office this is a pay & display, it is then a few hundred yard walk to the abbey.
Toilets situated by the ticket office and not owned by E.H
The site is mostly on one level apart from the museum which is on two levels but has a lift.
Dogs are allowed in the abbey but not in the museum
The museum has a few artefacts displayed and interactive displays

This is a very atmospheric site, lovely to photograph and sketch, plenty of places to sit on the grass for picnic, etc.
