About the Area

Whitby

Whitby is an unspoilt fishing town tucked away on the North East coast. 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).

There are plenty of opportunities for 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!
