![She celebrates a walk across England with bare feet dipped in Robin Hood's Bay, along the North Sea, in North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire county, England, United Kingdom, Europe. On our England Coast to Coast hike day 13 of 14, we went from Grosmont to Robin Hood's Bay on foot and via van. We walked a rural path through bracken, purple blooming heather moors, and farmland before descending cliffs to the beach and village of Robin Hood's Bay. We splashed into the North Sea, having completed our journey via foot and car from the Irish Sea over two weeks. Lunch at Wainwrights Bar at the Bay Hotel.

![Flying Scotsman train in the valley of Smardale Gill in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England, United Kingdom, Europe. Beginning in 1862, the Flying Scotsman express passenger train service has operated between Edinburgh and London, the capitals of Scotland and England via the East Coast Main Line. The name Flying Scotsman was officially adopted in 1924. Flying Scotsman LNER Class A3 4472 (not in this photo) is a Pacific steam locomotive built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of Nigel Gresley. It was employed on long-distance express East Coast Main Line trains by the LNER and its successors, British Railways Eastern and North-Eastern Regions. The locomotive set two world records for steam traction, becoming the first steam locomotive to reach 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h) in 1934, and then set a record for the longest non-stop run by a steam locomotive when it ran 422 miles (679 km) in 1989 in Australia. A 2015 poll on four continents ranked it the most famous locomotive. Retired from regular service in 1963 after covering 2.08 million miles, Flying Scotsman is now displayed in England's National Railway Museum (NRM) in York. England Coast to Coast hike day 7 of 14.

![Visit spectacular Whitby Abbey which dates from 657-1538 AD, in the fishing port of Whitby, in North Yorkshire county, England, United Kingdom, Europe. This Christian monastery later became a Benedictine abbey, which was confiscated by the crown during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII in 1537-8. The abbey church overlooks the North Sea on East Cliff above Whitby. Whitby Abbey became famous in fiction by Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula, as Dracula came ashore as a creature resembling a large dog who climbed the dramatic 199 steps leading to the ruins above the Esk River.

![On a plaster replica of the Easby Cross at the parish church at Easby Abbey, the rear face has a continuous vine scroll inhabited with beasts, an early appearance of this motif in Anglo-Saxon art. The original of this sandstone standing cross from AD 800–820 from the Kingdom of Northumbria is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Visit Easby Abbey on the River Swale, on the outskirts of Richmond, in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire county, England, United Kingdom, Europe. The cross was erected just as the golden age of Northumbrian art was ending with devastating Viking raids, which began with the attack on Lindisfarne in 793. Picturesque Easby Abbey (Abbey of St Agatha) was founded in 1152, but was suppressed by King Henry VIII in 1536-7 and fell into ruin. This Premonstratensian abbey was home to canons (ordained priests), rather than monks. England Coast to Coast hike day 9 of 14.
