Location
About the surrounding area of Whitby GatehouseWhitby is a charming, fascinating seaside town in the Scarborough Borough of North Yorkshire. It is situated at the mouth of the River Esk and enjoys its maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. The town’s East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, which sits proudly overlooking the town. Whitby’s fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting an important herring and whale fleet. It was where Captain Cook learned his seamanship. Visitors can learn more about the famous voyager at the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and see the great man immortalised in a monument on West Cliff. The town hosts an annual Whitby Goth Weekend, celebrating its links to Dracula and its Gothic culture. Visitors enjoy exploring the ornate cobbled paths, the locally-owned quirky shops and the cosy cafes that give Whitby its intriguing, welcoming atmosphere. Close to the sea visitors can enjoy the amusement arcades and plenty of fish and chips. Walks along the harbour wall are popular. There are many restaurants offering freshly caught local crab and lobster, including the famous Magpie Cafe. Whitby is hilly and good for some of exercise! There are 199 steps up to the abbey and St Mary’s Church. 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.
You can take a wonderful day trip on the Yorkshire Steam Railway from Whitby through the North York Moors National Park to Pickering, passing Newtondale Halt, Grosmont, Levisham and the gorgeous, famous Goathland. You can stop at the stations and enjoy the beautiful locations. At Grosmont, a fabulous display of bluebells lights up the local woods every May. There is a wonderful circular walk from Grosmont to Beck Hole. Goathland boasts the must-see celebrity station which became Hogsmeade Station in the first Harry Potter film and featured in the television programme Heartbeat. Goathland is stunning with a fabulous range of shops and pubs. You can take a lovely country walk to the Mallyan Spout Waterfall. Goathland Station has its own shop and tea room which is in a converted 1922 style goods shed. Levisham Moor runs through a rich landscape of archaeological remains half-hidden in the heather. Newtondale Halt lies deep in the heart of the park and is pretty isolated. You need to let the guard know if you want to stop at the station to explore the magnificent woodland.
The picturesque old fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay is six miles south of Whitby. It is absolutely delightful 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!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere is plenty for children to do in Whitby. The ‘must-do’ activities include the beaches, the famous fish and chips and climbing the steps to Whitby Abbey. Children always enjoy boat trips and whilst the Endeavour is permanently berthed in the harbour, there are plenty of trips you can take. It is lovely to see the rugged beauty of Whitby from the sea and you may even see some dolphins and porpoises. 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. On the West Pier you can climb the steps of the 13m West Pier Lighthouse. There are wonderful views of the abbey, harbour and the town. Pannett Park is a delightful hillside park, a 5 minute walk from the harbour. It enjoys fossil paths and displays designed to bring geology to life. It also boasts a huge children’s playground.
Sandsend Beach is wonderful for a day of family fun. Just a short drive from Whitby Gatehouse, 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 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!
Children love the challenges and thrills of Go Ape Dalby. This family adventure is found hidden away on the southern slopes of the North York Moors National Park. It offers crossings, bridges, zipwires and high ropes between the trees. Anyone over 1 metre tall can take part though there are different courses dependant on age. Older children enjoy the terrifying Treetop Challenge with its zipwires, twister crossings and Tarzan swings.

Lovely
Amazing house in a perfect location. Close enough to walk down to the harbour without having to struggle with parking and tiny streets. Very high end finish. Had to contact the owner a couple of times (for information rather than any issue) and response was instant. Lovely welcome hamper. Would definitely stay again if in this area.
