Pickering is an ancient market town and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, on the border of the North York Moors National Park. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, Pickering sits at the foot of the moors, overlooking the Vale of Pickering to the south. According to legend the town was founded by King Peredurus around 270 BC; however, the town as it exists today is of medieval origin.

The tourist venues of Pickering Parish Church, with its medieval wall paintings, Pickering Castle, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and Beck Isle Museum have made Pickering popular with visitors. Nearby places include Malton, Norton and Scarborough.

Pickering is situated at the junction of the A170, which links Scarborough with Thirsk, and the A169 linking Malton and Whitby. Located in the northern part of the UK, Pickering has a temperate maritime climate which is dominated by the passage of mid-latitude depressions.

The Beck Isle Museum is housed in a Regency period residence near the centre of town, adjacent to the Pickering Beck, a stream that flows under a four-arched road bridge. Dalby Forest is on the southern slopes of the North York Moors National Park. The southern part of the forest is divided by valleys creating a 'Rigg and Dale' landscape whilst to the north, the forest sits on the upland plateau.

North York Moors National Park Authority works to promote enjoyment and encourage understanding of the area by the public and balance it with conservation. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a heritage railway. The 18-mile (29 km) line is the second-longest heritage line in the United Kingdom and runs across the moors from Pickering via Levisham, Newton Dale and Goathland to Grosmont.

Pickering Castle is situated at the edge of the moors. It is a classic, well-preserved example of an early motte and bailey castle refortified in stone during the 13th and 14th centuries, centred upon a shell keep crowning an impressive motte. There is an exhibition in the chapel. Pickering Church has a Saxon foundation, but the earliest phases of the present building date to the 12th and 13th centuries, with substantial additions in the 14th and 15th. Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, on Potter Hill, was designed by the architect Leonard Stokes in 1911.

20 scenic seaside hotels in Great Britain

Hotel Tresanton, St Mawes, Cornwall: On the edge of a pretty fishing village, overlooking the sweep of Falmouth Bay, with views of St Anthony’s lighthouse, this hotel occupies a cluster of houses, made over by Olga Polizzi, doyenne of British hoteliers, in her trademark simple-chic style. 
All bedrooms have a sea view, some a private terrace. The interiors are filled with works by Cornish artists, antiques, objets d’art and curiosities. 
Modern menus include a fresh fish of the day. There are terraces, a lush garden, and plans for a Mediterranean beach club and juice café.
B&B; from $330 (£260). À la carte $56 (£44). No children under six at dinner. 44 (0)1326 270055, tresanton.com 
The Old Coastguard, Mouseshole, Cornwall: This whitewashed former coastguard’s station is a relaxed and happy place, furnished and decorated in casual-chic, mix-and-match style. 
You can take tea on the terrace, in sub-tropical gardens sloping down to the harbor wall; dine on local fish and shellfish. 
Bedrooms (some with balcony) are hung with Cornish art. Most have a sea view. 
With its winding streets and harbor, Mousehole (say Mowzel) was for Dylan Thomas quite the prettiest village in England. Have a drink in the bar – or at the Ship Inn, where Thomas and his fiancée binged away their wedding money – but make time for yoga, sailing, visits to gardens beaches, artists’ colonies. 
B&B; from $184.50 (£140). Set dinner $26–$32 (£19.50–£24.50), à la carte $32 (£24.50). 01736 731222, oldcoastguardhotel.co.uk 
Driftwood, Portscatho, Cornwall: Follow the woodland path that winds down through the landscaped garden to a private beach from this New-England-inspired hotel overlooking Gerrans Bay, or sink into an Adirondack chair on the lawn and soak up the view. 
Bedrooms are decorated in shades of sun and sand. In the evenings, hurricane lamps are lit on the decking for guests lingering over aperitifs. 
There’s early supper for the little ones, Michelin-starred cooking in the airy dining room for adults and kids aged 7 and upwards. Ask for a picnic hamper and spend a day by the water. 
B&B; from $235 (£185). Tasting menus $95–$121 (£75–£95), à la carte $83 (£65). 01872 580644, driftwoodhotel.co.uk 
The Nare, Veryan-in-Roseland, Cornwall: Traditional, luxurious and friendly, this hotel was founded in 1989 by the present owner’s grandmother. Verdant gardens lead down to the sandy beach. 
Many bedrooms have an ocean view. Old-fashioned touches include a valet to unpack for you, hot-water bottles and a silver-service restaurant with flambé trolley. 
Enjoy a dip in the outdoor pool or a game of tennis or croquet before a Cornish cream tea. The climate of the Roseland peninsula is temperate, almost Mediterranean, and garden visits beckon. 
Come in early spring to see the national collection of magnolias at Caerhays Castle. Book a trip on the Nare’s skippered yacht or motor launch. 
B&B; from $369 (£290). Set dinner and á la carte $64 (£50).
Fowey Hall, Fowey, Cornwall: Pronounced Foy, here’s one for the kids – not least because Kenneth Grahame is believed to have taken the Italianate Victorian mansion overlooking the Fowey estuary as his model for Toad Hall in The Wind in the Willows. 
While adults relax in the library, billiards room and spa, the younger guests can help to collect eggs from the hens, walk Bramble the dog, bounce on a trampoline, whizz down a zip wire. 
There are family rooms, flexible meal options (from high tea to a candlelit dinner), a playroom for rainy days, fishing nets and buckets and spades for days spent on the sands or messing about in boats.

Visit Tate St Ives gallery, browse the shops, then escape via the coastal path or by train (in just three minutes) to this 1930s hotel on the hillside overlooking Carbis Bay. 
Interiors are cool, chic, stripped down. Most bedrooms have a panoramic Atlantic view towards Godrevy lighthouse, inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. Indulgences include a massage in the treatment room, a Cornish cream tea on the terrace.
B&B; from $197 (£155). À la carte $34 (£27). Children 10 and over welcome. 01736 795295, boskerrishotel.co.uk 
Bedruthan Hotel and Spa, Mawgan Porth, Cornwall: With a sophisticated spa, outdoor play areas, games room, complimentary child care, pools and poolside snack bar, tennis, kids’ club and art gallery, this lively hotel, a short stroll from the beach, is avowedly family friendly. 
You can eat informally, alfresco on the terrace or in the Wild Café. For more sophisticated fare dine in the Herring, watching the sun set over the sea through picture windows.
There are doubles, family

ArtHouse429 Roy Carruthers

William Halliday (Gallery Owner/Sculptor) and Mary Coyle (Gallery Manager/Artist) discussing the work of Roy Carruthers, at ArtHouse 429 in West Palm Beach, FL.

This imposing and quirky oil on canvas painting of The Couple is by the well known contemporary artist Roy Carruthers. Signed and dated 1999 lower right, Carruthers has left it up to the viewer to imagine what's going on here. Strange details such as the the subjects' six fingers and the oddly proportioned heads and figures are characteristic Carruthers. Roy Carruthers, international artist, award-winning illustrator and graphic designer for more than five decades, was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa on December 14, 1938. He attended Technical College Art School there, winning its bronze medal in 1956. He has had solo exhibitions around the world ranging from Puerto Rico to South Africa and has participated in group shows throughout Europe and the United States. Carruthers moved from London, England to Old Greenwich, CT, in 1968 and commuted to New York City for many years to work as an art director in the advertising industry, then as a commercial illustrator in the early 1970s. He decided to pursue a full time career as a fine artist in 1974. A return to the advertising world in the mid-1980s brought him acclaim as Senior Vice President/Senior Art Director at Ogilvy & Mather, Inc., for his work on the Seagram's account. He relocated first to Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY, in 1991. Deciding to work independently, he started his own advertising and graphic design firm there, moving it to Astoria, Queens, in 1997. His signature style of larger-than-life figures with multiple fingers and vibrant colors painstakingly painted in oil on canvas appeared in exhibitions throughout Europe, South Africa and the United States. In 1998 he moved to Florida, initially to Ponte Vedra Beach. That year marked his resurgence as a painter and sculptor, with a sold-out one-man exhibition at Coplan Gallery in Boca Raton, FL. He settled in Palm Coast, FL, in 2002, where he continued making art works until 2008, when his health declined. Carruthers passed away peacefully after a long illness at Flagler Pines Nursing Center in Bunnell, FL, on Friday, May 3, at the age of 74.

Arthouse429 is located in the heart of South Florida’s fastest growing Art’s District – Northwood Village, in West Palm Beach – Florida. This rapidly changing district has become a pioneering area for emerging artists, entrepreneurs, designers and architects who enjoy the dramatic spirit of a recently developed area. ArtHouse429 leads the way in providing high quality, high value, and collectible contemporary art in Palm Beach County and beyond. Http://arthouse429.com

Early Morning Virtual Walk around Whitby - Visiting the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel Dracula

Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Scarborough borough of North Yorkshire, England. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has a maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed with the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by the proximity of the high ground of the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline and by association with the horror novel Dracula. Jet and alum were mined locally, and Whitby Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.

The earliest record of a permanent settlement is in 656, when as Streanæshealh it was the place where Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, founded the first abbey, under the abbess Hilda. The Synod of Whitby was held there in 664. In 867, the monastery was destroyed by Viking raiders. Another monastery was founded in 1078. It was in this period that the town gained its current name, Whitby (from white settlement in Old Norse). In the following centuries Whitby functioned as a fishing settlement until, in the 18th century, it developed as a port and centre for shipbuilding and whaling, the trade in locally mined alum, and the manufacture of Whitby jet jewellery.

The abbey ruin at the top of the East Cliff is the town's oldest and most prominent landmark. Other significant features include the swing bridge, which crosses the River Esk and the harbour, which is sheltered by the grade II listed East and West piers. The town's maritime heritage is commemorated by statues of Captain Cook and William Scoresby, as well as the whalebone arch that sits at the top of the West Cliff. The town also has a strong literary tradition and has featured in literary works, television and cinema, most famously in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.

While Whitby's cultural and historical heritage contribute to the local economy, the town does suffer from the economic constraints of its remote location, ongoing changes in the fishing industry, relatively underdeveloped transport infrastructure, and limitations on available land and property. As a result, tourism and some forms of fishing remain the mainstay of its economy. It is the closest port to a proposed wind farm development in the North Sea, 47 miles (76 km) from York and 22 miles (35 km) from Middlesbrough. There are transport links to the rest of North Yorkshire and North East England, primarily through national rail links to Middlesbrough and road links to Teesside, via both the A171 and A174, and Scarborough by the former. As at 2011, the town had a population of 13,213.

Whitby was called Streanæshalc, Streneshalc, Streoneshalch, Streoneshalh, and Streunes-Alae in Lindissi in records of the 7th and 8th centuries. Prestebi, meaning the habitation of priests in Old Norse, is an 11th century name. Its name was recorded as Hwitebi and Witebi, meaning the white settlement in Old Norse, in the 12th century, Whitebi in the 13th century and Qwiteby in the 14th century.

A Walk Through York, England

York is a historic walled city at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England, and is the traditional county town of Yorkshire to which it gives its name. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events in England throughout much of its two millennia of existence. The city offers a wealth of historic attractions, of which York Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural and sporting activities making it a popular tourist destination for millions.

The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Northumbria and Jorvik. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained.

In the 19th century, York became a hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre. In recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being dominated by its confectionery and railway-related industries to one that provides services. The University of York and health services have become major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy.

From 1996, the term City of York describes a unitary authority area which includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. In 2011 the urban area had a population of 153,717, while in 2010 the entire unitary authority had an estimated population of 202,400.

Places to see in ( Saltburn-by-the-Sea - UK )

Saltburn-by-the-Sea is a seaside resort in North Yorkshire, England. The local council, a unitary authority, is Redcar and Cleveland. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Saltburn-by-the-Sea is around 12 miles (19 km) east of Middlesbrough, and the ward of Saltburn.

The development of Middlesbrough and Saltburn was driven by the discovery of iron stone in the Cleveland Hills, the monies of the Pease family of Darlington, and the development of two railways to transport the minerals. Old Saltburn is the original settlement, located in the Saltburn Gill. Records are scarce on its origins, but it was a centre for smugglers, and publican John Andrew is referred to as 'king of smugglers'. The Redcar to Saltburn Railway opened in 1861 as an extension of the Middlesbrough to Redcar Railway of 1846. The line was extended to Whitby as part of the Whitby Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway.

The coastline at Saltburn lies practically east-west, and along much of it runs Marine Parade. To the east of the town is the imposing Hunt Cliff, topped by Warsett Hill at 166 metres (545 ft). Skelton Beck runs through the wooded Valley Gardens in Saltburn, then alongside Saltburn Miniature Railway before being joined by Saltburn Gill going under the C174 road bridge and entering the North Sea across the sandy beach. The A174 road number is now used for the Skelton/Brotton Bypass.

A forest walk in the Valley Gardens gives access to the Italian Gardens and leads on to the railway viaduct. On the shore of Old Saltburn stands the Ship Inn, which dates to the 17th Century. In the town there are plenty of Victorian buildings. There is also a thriving local theatre, The 53 Society, and a public library. The Saltburn Cliff Lift is one of the world's oldest water-powered funiculars—the oldest being the Bom Jesus funicular in Braga, Portugal. After the opening of Saltburn Pier in 1869, it was concluded that the steep cliff walk was deterring people from walking from the town to the pier.

The Saltburn tramway, as it is also known, was developed by Sir Richard Tangye's company, whose chief engineer was George Croydon Marks. The cliff tramway opened a year later and provided transport between the pier and the town. Saltburn's attractions include a Grade II* renovated pier, the only pleasure pier on the whole of Northeast England and Yorkshire coast. The Saltburn Miniature Railway is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway that runs south from Cat Nab Station close to the beach, for about ½ mile inland to Forest Halt, where there is a woodland walk and the Italian Gardens.

The railway station is at the end of the line from Middlesbrough and Darlington. Beyond Saltburn a mineral goods line continues across Saltburn Viaduct and the edge of Hunt Cliff to the potash mine at nearby Boulby.

( Saltburn-by-the-Sea - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Saltburn-by-the-Sea . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Saltburn-by-the-Sea - UK

★★★★★ From Victorian men in black to modern good-time girls, a tremendous history of seaside photographs reveals how Britons do love a day on the beach - The Guardian

This major exhibition examines the relationship between photographers, photography and the British seaside from the 1850s to the present. It is Turner Contemporary’s first ever photography exhibition.

As well as featuring the work of eminent photographers including Jane Bown, Henri Cartier Bresson, Vanley Burke, Anna Fox, Susan Hiller, Paul Nash, Martin Parr, and Ingrid Pollard, the curators have included rich and often unknown work from across photography’s history, including Raymond Lawson’s remarkable chronicle of family life in Whitstable.

Enzo Ragazzini captures the anarchy of the 1970 Isle of Wight festival, while Stuart Griffiths makes a bleak narrative of the 1990 rave scene in Brighton. Daniel Meadows, Barry Lewis and Dafydd Jones all photographed at Butlins in the 1970s and Grace Robertson records the raucous goings-on of a women’s’ day out to the coast in the 1950s. Composer Benjamin Britten and tenor Peter Pears, partners in music and in life, created a haven by the sea that they preserved in photographs.

Images of hotel life, the beach, the holiday camp, dressing up and dressing down, wild waves and coastlines all combine to create a rich picture of the British seaside.

In response to Seaside: Photographed, artists Bethan Peters and Stacie Lee Bennett-Worth have been commissioned to create a new artwork inspired by local residents. In Spring 2019, they will deliver workshops to families in collaboration with Thanet Early Years Project exploring the seaside through play, movement and digital media. They will create a work based on the ideas generated that will be available for the public to see in Summer 2019.

Curated by Val Williams and Karen Shepherdson, Seaside: Photographed is a touring exhibition organised by Turner Contemporary. The exhibition will take place at Turner Contemporary in summer 2019, touring to three other UK venues in 2020, each with their own unique connection to the seaside; John Hansard Gallery, Grundy Art Gallery, and Newlyn Art Gallery and the Exchange. With support from Arts Council England’s Strategic Touring Fund.

If you're planning an adventure to the UK, depending on your nationality and your reason for visiting, you may need to organise a visa.

If you're an American, Canadian or Australian tourist, you'll be able to travel visa-free throughout the UK, providing you have a valid passport and your reason for visiting meets the immigration rules (link is external).

Citizens from some South American and Caribbean countries as well as Japan are also able to travel visa-free around the UK.

European Union citizens, non-EU member states of the EEA (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland), Switzerland, and members of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) do not need a visa to enter the UK.
