North Yorkshire again

More tiki-touring today in sunshine and intermittent showers through very pretty rolling dales with little stone villages and stone walls. Our first stop was at the Jervaulx Abbey ruins. This abbey was built in the 12th century by Cistercian monks and was abandoned with the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry 8th. In Leyburn we walked up The Shawl, so named because Mary Queen of Scots apparently dropped her shawl here when trying to escape from Bolton Castle, a medieval castle where she was imprisoned for 6 months. Had lunch in Askrigg and went on to Hawes, a gorgeous little stone village. To Scotland tomorrow to spend a few days with Jock and Annie Simpson.
