Why choose a Whitby weekend break or staycation?
With idyllic natural beauty, bucket-loads of history, and quintessential British seaside charm, Whitby is a fantastic holiday destination for adventure, fun, and relaxation.
It's impossible to come to Whitby and not fall in love with this delightful town. The streets are lined with cobbled stones and some of the prettiest shops and restaurants you'll ever see. You can spend happy hours strolling through the narrow alleys and streets, making you feel completely disconnected from the modern world.
This historic seaside town is famous for its connection to vampires. Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, was inspired by the haunting beauty of Whitby, particularly Whitby Abbey and the cemetery at St. Mary's Church, and used them as a backdrop for his chilling tale.
You can see many of the locations in the novel, including climbing the 199 cobbled stone steps up to the beautiful abbey. Although the climb takes a bit of effort, the spectacular views from the top makes it all worth it. You can wander around the abbey's atmospheric remains, feel like you've stepped back in time, and take in the gorgeous surroundings.
There's more to Whitby's history than just vampires. It's also known for being the home of the legendary James Cook, one of the most accomplished explorers of all time. You can learn more about Cook and his exciting adventures at the brilliant Captain Cook Museum.
Aside from its fascinating history, Whitby is an excellent seaside resort with everything you could want from a break by the sea. The Whitby Pavilion was constructed during the Victorian era, and is brimming with things to do and see. There's a theatre, and festivals and art events throughout the year.
No British seaside holiday is complete without having a go at the amusement arcades, and you'll find excellent fish and chip shops, sweet tearooms, and traditional boutiques to keep you busy when you're not splashing in the sea.
Whitby Harbour is another attraction you'll love exploring. The harbourside cottages look like they've come straight from the pages of a storybook, with quirky exteriors, pretty pastel facades, and boats bobbing gently on the water. To see the harbour in all its glory, you can join a boat tour and enjoy a relaxing tour into Whitby Bay.
Crabbing is a popular activity in Whitby, so why not pick up a net or crab-catching kit and see if you can catch some crabs of your own? The best place to head to for crabbing is next to the swing bridge that separates the harbour from the old town.
Whether you book a short break to recharge your batteries or want to make the most of everything on offer over a couple of weeks, a Whitby holiday is sure to leave an impression.
