Location
About the surrounding area of Whitby ChapelThere is more to Whitby than meets the eye with its fascinating history! It is famous for its connections to Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Captain Cook. It boasts a Gothic culture with quirky narrow cobbled streets, independent shops and the majestic ruins of Whitby Abbey overlooking the town. The Captain James Cook memorial sits on West Cliff where he is looking out to sea and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum teaches you about his fascinating life and time in Whitby.
Whitby is hilly, pretty and good for a bit of exercise! There are 199 steps up to the abbey and St Mary’s Church. Whitby offers an excellent range of restaurants including the famous Magpie Cafe. The Magpie Cafe is quirky with numerous levels and offers many seafood dishes as well as the traditional fish and chips. You must go! There are the usual seaside attractions with the classic seaside fun of crabbing, sandcastle building, walks along the pier and plenty of amusement arcades. Just along from the main town and harbour you will find the lovely sandy beaches of Sandsend and Runswick Bay. Sandsend was originally two villages, Sandsend and East Row. There is a delightful cafe overlooking the beach.
Six miles south of Whitby, you will find the picturesque old fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay. It is beautiful with a sandy beach, rock pools, ancient fossils, narrow, twisting, cobbled streets and lots of alleyways. You can easily imagine the fishermen and smugglers walking the streets hundreds of years ago. It is quite easy to get lost in the little warren of lanes lined with old fisherman’s cottages, most of which have now been renovated. The village is bustling with a good range of cafes, pubs and restaurants. Get your cameras ready for this little gem!
Staithes is also very attractive. Clinging to the hillside and boasting pretty winding, cobbled streets, 18th century cottages and characterful pubs, it is an absolute delight. This fabulous coastal village was once one the largest fishing ports in the North East but now it is a wonderful hillside gem perfect for exploring Yorkshire’s cliff top paths and the rock pools on the small sandy beach.
There are many stunning coastal and country walks, cycle paths and 800km of bridleways close to Whitby. You will be delighted with the peaceful, tranquil countryside of the North York Moors National Park.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe owners of Whitby Chapel have asked that families do not take infants under the age of 2 to their precious holiday home. Otherwise, children are certainly welcome and will enjoy this magical space, especially the gaming in the snug and the garden.
Sandsend Beach is wonderful for a day of family fun. Just a short drive from Whitby Chapel, there are ice-creams galore and a lovely cafe overlooking the beach. If you enjoy the waves, you may want to take a course with Whitby Surf School which is located on the promenade of West Cliff Beach. You can learn to surf or stand-up paddleboard with fully qualified instructors or else you can just hire the boards and kayaks. It is great fun!
Whitby boasts amusement arcades, Doodlepots Ceramic Cafe, Pannett Park with its maritime themed play area and Jurassic Gardens and various museums to entertain families. The Whitby Museum has numerous collections and a chance to find out about Captain Cook. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum also offers excellent displays about him. Whitby’s Dracula Experience offers an entertaining tour explaining Dracula’s connection to Whitby though it might scare the really young ones!
Visitors to the Whitby Whale Watching Centre enjoy boat trips to watch for minke, sperm, humpback and northern whales as well as porpoises, bottle-nosed dolphins, jellyfish and sharks. Every year the summer and autumn shoals of herring migrate to the coast off Yorkshire bringing with them huge numbers of sharks, seals, dolphins and whales. The boat trips last for 4 hours.
You can also take a trip on board Bark Endeavour which is an authentic replica of Captain Cook’s HMS Endeavour created to a 40% scale. You will enjoy wonderful views of the Jurassic coastline and hopefully see seals, sea birds, dolphins, porpoises and whales.
