Why Coastal Holiday Cottages Whitby?
Nestled on Yorkshire's Heritage Coast, this seafaring town is one of a kind and welcomingly unspoilt, known for its tiny, cobbled streets and bustling quayside. It's not changed much since Captain Cook was here - and you can learn all about him at his Memorial Museum or along the Heritage Trail.
For amazing views, ascend the 199 steps to St. Mary's Churchyard (of 'Dracula' fame) and to Whitby's striking 13th Century Abbey. Other attractions include Pannett Park and the Dracula Experience, both of which are within walking distance of the town centre and make for brilliant places to go for an adventure. Whitby is also home to the breath-taking Whitby Beach where you can go fossil hunting, laze on the swathes of golden sand or enjoy a paddle in the sea.
After a day at the beach, choose from countless fantastic places to eat and drink. From tearooms to top-class fish restaurants, plus a good choice of shops. And if you're looking for ways to celebrate, Whitby hosts some wonderful festivals and carnivals throughout the year, with many being hosted during the summer months.
