After viewing the 'old' Castle you then head for Lythe Village through a short tunnel, purpose?

The weather was steadily deteriorating looking towards Whitby across the bay at Sandsend!

Coming down the hill towards Lythe Church.

St Oswald's Church, Lythe, North Yorkshire, is the result of an almost total rebuild by Sir Thomas Tapper in 1910, but reused much of the surviving medieval stonework. His intention was to reproduce the structure of the church as it was in the 16th century.

The Gardens of the latest house known as Mulgrave Castle on the Mulgrave Estate

The gardens of the Mulgrave Estate are open to the public on a few days of the year in aid of local charities.

Its a really good day out and for a worthy cause - enjoy the beautiful flowers and engaging walking.
