After a road trip to Pickering.. I saw this alleyway and just had to photograph it on the way back to the car.
St Peter and St Paul’s church, built in Norman times in the market town of Pickering deep in the Yorkshire moors. Easy access to moors and beach at Whitby.
The wall Paintings are over 500 years old  Di v painted in the 1500s and only rediscovered in the 1850’s
Newton Dale is part of the route which the North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs through. There is a good circular, and not to difficult hike, from the train station around the valley which gives some spectacular views of the countryside also. Pickering is the main town to catch the train and there are various stops on route too.
