Local Amenities

Whitby offers miles of sandy beaches, fishing trips from the harbour and many specialists' shops filled with crafts, antiques, artist's shops, and handmade local jet jewellery. The town is divided into the West and East side with the River Esk running through the middle.The swing Bridge joins the two sides opening at high tides to let the Yachts and fishing boats through. Both sides are completely different which provides a fantastic contrast for all visitors. The East side is a maze of cobbled little streets, Whitby Abbey, the piers and The Lifeboat, as well as lovely shops, The Market Place with local & French markets and the award winning White Horse & Griffin, a 16th Century Coaching Inn, providing delicious meals with locally sourced produce and, of course, freshly caught fish. The West side houses the fish market, the amusement arcades and some lovely shops and wine bars. Whitby has something to suit all tastes - award winning sea food restaurants, continental delights, olde worlde English tea rooms and traditional sea-shanty inns / pubs serving local produce. For those dining at home there are supermarkets and many local shops around the area.

All the following villages are part of The Cleveland Way Walk.

WHITBY - is a small town which has its own character and picturesque charm based on its spectacular history as a seaport. The town is famous for its rich cultural and architectural heritage:- its 7th century Abbey, its yards, ancient alleyways, cobbled side streets, Captain Cook's seafaring life and Bram Stoker was so inspired by Whitby that he chose it as a back drop for his classic Novel Dracula. It is now famous as the Bi-annual venue for the largest Goth festival in the world.

STAITHES - This quaint and unspolit fishing village consists of cottages huddled together on steep cliffs over looking a tiny harbour. Captain Cook lived here at the age of seventeen while he was an apprentice to a grocer and draper in a shop.

SANDSEND - A lovely upmarket seaside village. Fabulous beach for frollicking, digging sandcastles, lazing around on or for taking a walk by the sea. In the early morning you can watch the fishermen collect the previous nights catch of Wild Salmon or Lobsters. There is a friendly pub (The Hart), a superb restaurant (Estbek House) three lovely cafes and a shop/Deli (Sandsend Stores selling everything from Daily Newspapers and Magazine's to all sorts of Gourmet delights for foodie's!)

ROBIN HOODS BAY - Robin Hoods Bay on the coast off the Whitby to Scarborough road is a picturesque and historic village notorious for its smuggling history. Smuggling was rife and many of the buildings have secret passageways so that contraband could be passed secretly from the bottom of the village to the top without going outside. The narrow winding streets and alleys conceal many beautiful cottages. The haphazard positions of the cottages attract many photographers and artists.

RUNSWICK BAY - Eight miles north of Whitby, this attractive little seaside village with its white painted cottages and red roofed cottages perched in improbable positions on the steep hill side is a favourite spot sailing enthusiasts, water skiers and artists.

The Whitby area

WHITBY ABBEY - The remains of the earliest monastery stands high on the headland above the picturesque harbour.

ST MARY'S CHURCH - Situated beneath the Abbey on the East Cliff. There are services held here in the summer and on special occasions e.g.. Christmas.

Here you will also find the Captain Cook Memorial Museum where you can see displays and models relating to his life and where he lodged in the attic of John Walkers house whilst serving as an apprentice. Whitby Archives also situated in Grape Lane has a collection of pictorial material of old Whitby.

PANNETT PARK - The Pannett Park grounds, museum and gallery were a gift of Whitby solicitor Robert Pannett. The park occupies a sloping, well-landscaped site overlooking the town and harbour, with views across to the Abbey ruins and St. Mary's Church.

WHITBY MUSEUM - In the middle of Pannett Park, the museum contains Captain Cook's artefacts, model ships, information about whjaling and collections of fossils.

GRAND TURK - The Grand Turk , a replica fighting frigate which features in the TV series Hornblowermakes regular visits to Whitby.

WHITBY REGATTA - Whitby Regatta is possibly the oldest sea regatta in England and has regularly drawn large crowds into the town. There is a large selection of entertainment for both children and adults - inflatable maze, pirate ship, yacht racing and parachute display.

“Lovely cottage, great location, perfect for family stay” We spent one night at Griffin cottage - myself and my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend and 4 year old daughter, and my parents. The cottage is well furnished and decorated with a fully equipped kitchen. We cooked a big evening meal and it was more than adequate for doing so. The lounge has lovely, comfy settees and is ideal for socialising in a group. The cottage has 3 bathrooms which is perfect for a large group and all the bedrooms are spacious. The only thing to be aware of is that, as it's over 3 floors, there are 2 flights of stairs and the top flight is quite narrow. We had no problem with this but it might just mean that the attic bedroom/bathroom wouldn't be suitable for young children or anyone with mobility issues. Overall, we loved our brief stay at Griffin cottage and would definitely recommend it for future use. We are hoping to return next year sometime.
