Even more so I have never visited Yorkshire either. York and Harrogate are lovely and definitely worth a visit.We have been to Scarborough before but are looking forward to discovering the coastline around Whitby, particularly Robin Hoods Bay and Sandsend.There are some lovely coastal walks and my husband wants to visit Eden Camp museum on the way. We are trying to visit areas of the UK that we have'nt previously visited whilst unable to cruise and we thought we may as well start close to home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We visited on the way to Pickering War Weekend. There are some fascinating things to see and Frank loved the submarine with the sound effects and depth charges. I liked the re-creation of a street during the war and wandering past the houses. Give yourself plenty of time, there's a lot to see.

Flamingoland is a couple of miles away and you pass it on the way to Eden Prisoner of war camp. Graham.

Carry on along the coast north from Sandsend to Saltburn,Marske and Redcar. Guisborough is about 18 miles from Whitby and a nice market town. Goathland is just off the Whitby to Pickering road and this is where Heartbeat was filmed. Graham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my twopen'orth I think Eden camp is totally boring. I've been a few times taking school children and it's definitely not for me. The last time was quite memorable though. At the end there is a sing song, You've guessed it Vera Lynn. Anyway the place is packed with pensioners and our lot who the music teacher has taught all the songs. The oldies were delighted to hear all these 8-10 year olds belt out the songs. Anyway you're husband might enjoy it. Mine loved the Viking museum.....another I wasn't impressed with! Enjoy your holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you are correct that my hubby will probably enjoy Eden Camp more than I will but there will be other aspects of our holiday that I enjoy more than him. If I am not as interested in a museum as much as my husband is I tend to have a quick look round and tell him I will meet him later in the coffee shop!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took Pauline's late dad(DLI army)and late mam a couple of times to Eden camp and enjoyed it. Helmsley is a pretty town. Thirsk is a nice market town. York Minster and the Shambles street are a must see. York Designer Outlet where the A64 and A19 meet is one of the best outlets and a favourite of ours with shops including Ted Baker Joules. Ralph Lauren. Hobbs Ben Sherman M&S. Starbucks And many more brand name shops in an indoor setting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too dissimilar than here then😉. It's not the weather that attracts me though, it's the lifestyle. A bit like an Italian 'Good Life'.
