The two piers in Whitby have been in existence since before the 1500's. By 1540, the two oak piers (east and west) were replaced partially, with stonework (in the reign of King Charles 1), with further work around the 1600's. Both piers were rebuilt in 1735, each measuring approximately 183m, but by 1814 the west pier was further extended to reach a length of 309m. In 1905, both the piers had new pier ends built on, each of a length of 152m.

Hiking

Lovely pier with fantastic view back into Whitby and up the cost. Bring your fishing rod and you can fish off the pier… or you can watch someone else do the hard work and then get some fish and chips in town
