6 Rosedale Abbey
Pickering, Y018 8RA
North Yorkshire, UK
The largest Gothic church in Britain and the spiritual heart of Yorkshire.
I'm not keen on recently introduced entry fee; but I have to admit the price is worth the charge.
And you can visit for free if you're attending a service. But please give a healthy donation!

It is one of my favourite walks across the Moor from Rosedale Abbey to Lastingham to pay a visit to the beautiful church in Lastingham.
Constructed above a very atmospheric Normal crypt, the Church stands on a site founded by St Cedd as he brought Christianity to the pagan ancient Britains.
It is thought to also have been the site of an even earlier Roman temple of some kind.

Perched on the cliff overlooking the harbour, you'll find the lovely Church of St Hilda.
The walk round Whitby Abbey and the views along the coast are fabulous.

It is a Saxon-era Church with fascinating Anglo-Saxon sundial over the porch.
It's amazing to dwell for a minute on all the history that has occurred in this 1,000 year old Church!
The Church of St Lawrence is directly behind Rosella Cottage and well worth a visit if you're holidaying in Rosedale this Christmas time.
