A couple of week ago I spent a weekend in Ripon. I will hopefully have a post about the trip up sometime before next Friday, and have it be a two-post week, but I’m not guaranteeing that. It could just be that post, on Friday.

But I took lots of photos, which can be found here. And I’ll post a selection.

Ripon’s biggest feature is its cathedral, so I’ll start with pictures of that:

I’ve just come back from a week in Marske-by-the-Sea, in the Cleveland area of the North Yorkshire Coast. I had a break there a couple of years ago, and talked about Marske – as well as neighbouring Saltburn and Redcar – in this post. But I do have some posts do about this break, starting with this photos post. The full album is here.

So, photos from Marske itself:

In the first week of June, I spent a few days in Middleham in North Yorkshire. After this post I’ll have three more to do from the break (I fit quite a lot in), but I’ll try to get them all out within two weeks. So either next week or the one after there should be two posts. Otherwise I think my posts-to-do list might get a bit backlogged (though I may come to regret this somewhere down the line when I’m struggling to think of a post).

Anyway, this is just the photos. Here’s the full album, and here’s a selection.

To start, photos taken in and around Middleham:

Nidderdale Photos

I have just returned from spending a couple of nights in the village of Glasshouses, which is not at all far from where I live, but far enough for it to feel like a couple of nights away (as opposed to just in a different building).

I don’t actually have any photos of Glasshouses, because I wasn’t staying in the village proper, and there doesn’t seem to be anything there in the way of shops or eateries, whereas neighbouring Pateley Bridge – which I was not much further from – does have some things. Still not a lot, but some. Anyway, that’s why I decided to titled this post as Nidderdale rather than Glasshouses (although not all of the photos are from Nidderdale either).

Anyway, that’s too much preamble for a photo post. Here’s the full album. For some reason, Flickr is presently refusing to order it correctly, but I think they are all there.

And here’s a selection.

On the way over to Glasshouses, I stopped and walked up to the Coldstones Cut, a big, outdoor sculpture thing overlooking a quarry:

Buxton Photographs

I spent a few days in Buxton. I didn’t do that much while I was there (I fell ill on the day I was meant to be doing the main thing), but I’ll do this photo post and then another one on the break. The full album is here, and it appears I’ve done something odd with the photo numbering, but I’m not bothered by it enough to change it. I’m just mentioning it because someone might notice it themselves.

To begin with, photos of Buxton in general:

Last month I spent a couple of days in Richmondshire. When I spend only a couple of days somewhere, whether it gets its own photo post depends on if I did anything specific, and, of course, how many photos I actually have. This one made the cut. In fact, I’m getting two posts out of it, and two Flickr albums, here and here.

Like last time I stayed in Richmondshire, I stayed in the village of Grinton, and, like last time, I went on a walk to Reeth. The same walk, though I did a slight extension and made it into a circle this time. But I won’t be doing another post on it.

From Grinton to Reeth:
