This summer we decided to explore the north part of England. First stop was Hornsea- a quite seaside village. There is not much here, but there is a Tesco Superstore and a leisure centre. To our amusement we discovered an overabundance of churches, each of a different denomination. Hornsea Mere is a local attraction which we've almost missed, but thankfuly on the last day we found an our to cycle down there and admire the view. And we even caught a rainbow over the sea one evening!

Then Beverley, a market town with surprisingly many shops and some rather odd street names, which we visited in search of a place a little bigger than tiny Hornsea where we established our base.
Next day,
York. The place is absolutely beautiful. We didn't get much chance to explore it properly, but we found a few nice spots.
Fairfax House is highly recommended! I've never seen such a dedicated team of museum guides, each room had a person willing to share their knowledge about this place. One lady talked us through pretty much every piece of furniture in Viscount Fairfax's bedroom! There was also an exhibition about Georgian pastimes and pleasures, including ballooning and watching public hangings. Charming, isn't it?
And thus the exploration of Yorkshire came to an end. Next stop: South Coast.
