The town’s colourful history is one of the many draws to Whitby. So little of the old town has changed over hundreds of years. There are still ships being built where Captain Cook’s vessel the Endeavour was handmade back in 1764 ready for the first voyage to Australia, you can now sail across the harbour in a replica or have your dinner in a restaurant on the ship in the harbour. You can explore the winding streets that Dracula used to roam according to Bram Stoker’s famous book, which has inspired movies and TV shows as well as the annual Goth events.
The town is very proud of its seafaring heritage; enjoy smoked kippers, fresh crab or award winning fish and chips. Further along the coast there are some picturesque bays, villages and towns to visit, including Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes, Runswick Bay, Scarborough and Saltburn. All perfect for a memorable day out. This is a great base for exploring the wonders of this beautiful corner of Yorkshire. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

great little house. we always stay on the old side of town so 5 mins from everything - this was a different holiday for being a bit further out HOWEVER we loved it. short walk to nearest pub, the Whitehouse which is excellent for food and drink, 15 mins to beach and 20-25 mins to town. different for us as we stayed in the house most mornings went out in the afternoon and holed up around 7pm in the evening instead of being out all day till mid evening - a very lazy holiday it was great
