The Local Area.
Whitby.
If there’s a bustling seaside town on the North Yorkshire coast you should visit, it’s Whitby. Pier Road on the west side of the town is packed with cosy pubs, fun arcades and plenty of fish restaurants. Leading onto the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts, there really is something for all the ages to enjoy.
The East bank of Whitby is full of narrow medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and even more fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey.
Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so step outside of Whitby and you’ll discover a haven of woodland and moorland.
Food & Drink.
Whitby and the surrounding areas are full to the brim of places to eat and drink. Whether you’re looking for a fancy fish restaurant, country pub or quaint vintage tea room, you’ll find it in North Yorkshire.

Beautiful Sights.
If you can’t decide between dramatic coastline or beautiful heather clad moorland you should look to walk The Cleveland Way, it has both, in abundance. Not for the faint hearted, the walk is 109 miles in total, passing castles, coves, fishing villages and so much more. The best bit? The Views. Stunning panoramic views over the Cleveland Hills and the rest of the National Park followed by the dramatic cliff views from the Saltburn coastline to Filey.
