Whitby Events, History and Tourist Information

Our holiday cottages, self catering apartments & bed and breakfast in Whitby are located in the heart of this unspoilt fishing town tucked away on the North East coastline. Its geographical location makes it an ideal place for a relaxing holiday or break.

Overlooked by the Abbey, Whitby is steeped in historical tradition. A beautiful beach stretches from Whitby to Sandsend (2 miles).

Whitby is an ideal location for walkers, particularly track walkers, with the North Yorkshire moors nearby.

Stroll along the beautiful cobbled streets and explore the interesting mix of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants...and don’t leave without sampling Whitby’s infamous fish and chips!
