This is a wonderful tourist destination with a wide variety of activities and amenities. Whitby is a year-round destination boasting a range of restaurants and wine bars alongside the traditional cafés and pubs. Located on North Yorkshire’s own Jurassic Coast, this beautiful stretch of sand reaches 35 miles from Staithes to Flamborough Head and is famous for its fossils and Whitby Jet. It is a great place to go fishing or look at sea creatures in the rock pools, when the tide allows. You can walk from the cliff top along the Cleveland Way to the idyllic Robin Hood’s Bay and take the bus back.
A gateway to the North York Moors, Whitby town is a marvellous base from which to explore the pretty moor villages such as Goathland and Grosmont. In summer the North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs steam trains from Whitby to the delightful market town of Pickering. Whitby’s favourite son is explorer Captain James Cook and Whitby is well known as the inspiration behind the setting for Bram Stoker’s ’Dracula’.
