Whitby is a traditional seaside town that is dearly loved by young and old alike. With a glorious golden beach, quirky cobbled streets that wind enticingly through old taverns and pubs — frequented by sailors and smugglers in times gone by — and a bustling harbour overlooked by the striking Gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey, it is an intriguing and beautiful place. With connections to Captain Cook and Dracula, too, Whitby truly is a place unlike any other.

Nice little town, cosy streets. The boulevard on the west side (Pier Road) however has turned into a fair. Too bad.

Avoid the summer holidays if possible. Early spring and later in the year is so much quieter and enjoyable
