Whitby Folk Week

The Whitby Folk Week takes place around the little coastal town of Whitby in East Yorkshire. Whitby is all steep hills and picturesque - windy! - cliffs. Pictured here, an arch made from a whale's jawbone.

The best picture I missed taking: two morris dancers (probably members of the Shropshire Bedlams) in blackface and tattered coats, wearing top hats adorned with pheasant feathers and swooping down a steep incline on bicycles.
