Tips

June 23, 2024

Hiking

Whitby High Lighthouse (called this on Admiralty Charts to distinguish it from the two lighthouses in Whitby) is still in operation by Trinity House and was automated in the 1990s, hence the keeper's cottage is now available as a holiday let.

August 13, 2022

Hiking

Vanguard is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse, which lies on the East Coast just outside Whitby and close to the North Yorkshire Moors.
