After touring the city of York we were ready to get out and see the country side. Just 2 hours outside the city is the beautiful East Coast of England.
We stopped in the lovely village of Staithes for a hike and some lunch.

Then headed south along the coast for some fossil hunting. We didn't have much time as the tide was coming in, but we were able to find quite a few interesting fossils.

The drive along back along the coast and inland to York was so beautiful. I was snapping pictures like crazy out the car window and then we finally found a spot to pull over. Here are a few shots from our roadside pit stop.

There is nothing quite like the English countryside. I would love to come back to this part of the country in the summer to see the moors in full bloom, or in August when the heather turns the hillsides bright purple. It must be quite a site to see!

I love driving around England and can't wait to do it with our little ones one day. So glad you're getting the opportunity to do this with them!
ReplyDeleteThe first picture looks just like a German village. The English countryside is breathtaking and you have captures it all beautifully. We love road trips too. But I want to give rail journeys a shot.

ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I've been to York twice, once when I was 10 and once when I was 21, and both times long ago, but I've never seen much of the countryside.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, last night I had a dream that my husband took me on a road trip in England. It was gorgeous in a completely different way, and looked nothing like England--and then today I found your blog. Serendipity!
So thrilled to meet you. I know the areas that you are exploring well. I've just added you to my blogroll so that I don't miss a post. Have lots of fun in Provence. One of my favourite places.
