http://ukhiddentreasures.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
UK's Hidden Treasures Tour. Wednesday, 28 May 2008. The coastal road from Cromer to Hunstanton takes in some beautiful scenery and a string of pearl-like villages - Cley, Blakeney, Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham, the Burnhams (all seven of them), Brancaster. The well documented gentrification of these coastal resorts is very much in evidence - expensive and tantalising organic butchers, delis. It's at this stage of my journey that the GPS pubs and inns guide. Harvested from the marshes. Just beyond Hunstant...

Not-to-be-missed attraction - in a recent local survey, it was even voted Yorkshire's top beauty spot. The abbey itself has survived the ravages of time and history unbelieveably well.

UK's Hidden Treasures Tour. Wednesday, 27 August 2008. North Yorks Abbey Trail: Part II. So I find myself continuing an impromptu tour of North Yorkshire's Cistercian Abbeys. of which there are several but I'm sticking to the principal three: Fountains (tick), Rievaulx and Byland - the three 'shining lights' of the Cistercian Order as they came to be known.
