The Seated Man of the North Yorkshire Moors

A THREE metre high statue of a Seated Man has appeared in one of the most dramatic locations on the North Yorkshire Moors.

The painted bronze statue, which has been likened to Jeremy Corbyn by some locals, was created by artist Sean Henry, commissioned by the David Ross Foundation. The Seated Man of the North Yorkshire Moors was put up at Castleton Rigg, in Westerdale, within the Moors National Park in June, and is proving to be a big draw for tourists and visitors prepared to hike the half a mile to see it.

Andrew Pern, whose name is synonymous with his Michelin-starred pub, The Star Inn The Harbour at Harome, has long wished to open a restaurant in his hometown and to celebrate the ingredients he grew up surrounded by and with which he began to learn to cook, even before he decided to train as a Chef at the former Scarborough Catering College.

Day Trips in Whitby

Located in North Yorkshire, Whitby is a charming and fascinating seaside town. Steeped in legend and filled with attractions, it is a destination that attracts many tourists every year. This town is considered the birthplace of Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’, as he took his inspiration from Whitby Abbey. It is also a town with strong connections to Captain Cook, as he lived and worked in the town before becoming a legendary explorer.

Whitby offers a whole lot more than fish and chips. When a treat was called for a trip to Whitby’s Marine Hotel hit the spot

You know that feeling….. finished all the jobs on the ‘to do list’.  Planted our new laurel trees, stacked firewood, had a bonfire, a busy productive day…suddenly it’s 5 o’clock with no clue what to make for supper. So it was for us last week end, frankly we both felt like a treat following the day’s exertions!

Whitby Swing Bridge
