SCARBOROUGH Yorkshire

A great resort. A proper fishing harbour, yachts, nets and floats, funfairs and 2 huge blue flag beaches. All backed by a rash of arcades and rock shops. Everything I need for inspiration!
The perfect getaway for kids (of any age).

ROBIN HOODS BAY Yorkshire

Tumbling down hill like a pack of badly stacked cards, picture postcard in the extreme - most of the cottages and lanes are only accessible to those on a diet of lettuce and mineral water. Visitors with a penchant for McBurgers should beware of being stuck!

WHITBY Yorkshire

Fantastic town, very historic. The home of Captain Cook, Frank Sutcliffe and Dracula (temporary home).
The are 274 pubs and 169 restaurants, well a lot anyway, 3 quays, 4 piers, 2 lighthouses. Tiny alletways with cobbles and jewelers, little archways to hidden courtyards, a marina, a fish market, a fantastic Victorian Iron bridge, for me Whitby is like a giant Dartmouth, with the beaches of Newquay and the charm of St. Ives...with cherries on.

STAITHES Yorkshire

Beautiful town, very, very picturesque. Home of the Staithes school of Artists.
I choose to cross the bridge and paint over the rooftops from high above as the late afternoon sun behind me makes the red cliffs glow.

AMBLE Northumberland

Down by the harbour with the fearless seagulls, looking back up the river to Warkworth castle.
Friendliest town in the UK apparently?

CRASTER Northumberland

CRASTER
Small, scruffy harbour with excellent kippers. Had a hot, buttered kipper roll, just superb. Queued behind a Geordie coach driver who told me where and where not to go in Newcastle that night, "Aye man, get yourself down the Pig Market, the girls are right up for it...its every mans dream, man!"
