Explore Whitby
One of the things I love about Number 28 is being close enough to enjoy everything Whitby has to offer, while staying in a quieter part of town.
From the house, it’s around a 10 minute walk down to Whitby, with the harbour, independent shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants all within easy reach. There are beaches to explore, the famous 199 Steps to climb, Whitby Abbey overlooking the town and miles of beautiful Yorkshire coastline beyond.
Whitby is also a brilliant base for exploring the North York Moors and nearby coastal villages, so there’s plenty to discover whether you’re staying for a weekend or a little longer.
Some of my Whitby favourites
There are so many lovely places to eat and drink in Whitby. A few of my favourites include Whitby Brewery for a drink with an incredible Abbey backdrop, White Horse & Griffin for food and a cosy pub atmosphere, Sanders Yard Bistro and Rusty Shears for something a little different.
And of course, a trip to Whitby wouldn’t be complete without fish and chips. Trenchers and The Magpie Café are two of the best-known choices, while Royal Fisheries is another favourite.
Whitby has plenty to explore on foot. Climb the famous 199 Steps to Whitby Abbey, wander through the cobbled streets of Church Street, spend time on the beach or try fossil hunting along Yorkshire’s Jurassic coastline.
Further afield, you can explore the North York Moors, discover nearby coastal villages or simply enjoy a walk along this beautiful stretch of the Yorkshire coast.
Whitby at its best
From the beach and historic old town to Whitby Abbey high on the East Cliff, there’s so much to explore on foot.
