When exploring Whitby, leave the car behind and strike out on foot. No visit is complete without a day at the beach – borrow the picnic hamper provided. Whitby is one of the few seaside locations where the sun rises and sets over the same bay, very romantic!

Or take a boat trip from the harbour for a different perspective.

When you’re ready, explore more of the heritage coast – pretty fishing villages, such as Staithes or Robin Hood’s Bay – are within easy reach.
