From the north follow the A171 crossing over the bridge which looks over Whitby and the harbour. Turn right at the next junction after the bridge onto Larpool Lane.

From the south follow the A171 and before crossing the bridge looking over Whitby and the harbour, turn left at the junction onto Larpool Lane.

Drive along past the houses on Larpool Lane and the road narrows into a country lane. Continue along for about 1 km and just before a small bridge over the road you will see a driveway sign on the right - 'Captain Cooks Haven, Riverside Walk, Riverside View'.

Turn into this driveway and continue driving slowly down towards the river down the steep hill until you drive parallel with the river.

Continue towards the large viaduct where you will find parking for Kauri Cottage. Parking spaces are not allocated so you are able to park in any of the marked spaces under the viaduct and beside the river.

If you are arriving by train or bus you will arrive in the centre of Whitby. Your best option from here would be to get a taxi. Taxis are available from the taxi rank which is situated by Trenchers Fish Restaurant by the harbour.

It is approximately one mile to Kauri Cottage and our full address is 9 Riverside Walk, Off Larpool Lane, Whitby YO22 4NY.
