“The finest view in England!”
At least that’s what James Herriot said of this view, taken from Sutton Bank.
Who am I to disagree? Especially on a day when the sun peeks out between rain clouds.
James Alfred Wight OBE FRCVS, better known by his pen name James Herriot, was a British veterinary surgeon and author. Born in Sunderland, Wight graduated from Glasgow Veterinary College in 1939, returning to England to become a veterinary surgeon in Yorkshire, where he practised for almost 50 years. Wight became a full partner in the Thirsk practice in 1949 and retired from full-time practice in 1980 but continued to work part-time. He fully retired in 1989.
And then on to Whitby, the lovely, loud, bustling fishing port with more chippies than sea gulls. The harbour nestles under the glowering presence of wonderful Whitby Abbey. The adjoining St Mary’s church is also a wonder. As are the fish & chips from Magpies.
