Whitby

Sunset through the Whalebones

Busy with colourful boats, charming shops, artists and craftsmen by day, while the views from the top of the West Cliff at sunset are not to be missed.

North Yorkshire Moors Railway

Whitby makes an ideal holiday destination, here you will find the sound of seagulls, the smell of fish, the sight of red roofs and jumbled alleyways winding up the steep banks from the fishing quay, and at the very top of the cliff the majestic ruins of the ancient abbey.   

Evening at Whitby Marina

Scenic drives can take in the coastal villages of Robin Hood’s Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes. Historic Scarborough, the Pickering to Grosmont Steam Train and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park with its host of picturesque beauty spots and market towns are all nearby. A little further afield  are Castle Howard (the magical setting for “Brideshead Revisted”), the tourist City of York with its ancient Minster and city walls steeped in history, and just that bit further still Bronte Land and Herriot Country
