Here’s some good news for all those who love history and would like to see around some English Heritage sites, but cannot. Thanks to an item on Sky News, I have learned of a new project which provides virtual tours of 29 sites. The above view of Whitby Abbey is taken from one of these.

It’s all well worth investigating. Thoroughly recommended.
