The harbour town of Whitby is famous for its fresh fish & chips and steeped in history. Head to one of the town's many attractions to find out more about its past including The Captain Cook Memorial Museum or The Dracula Experience on the seafront. Whitby has two excellent beaches that offer the best of both worlds – West Cliff is long and sandy and Tate Hill Beach is small and secluded. For those of you feeling energetic it’s worth climbing the famous 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey (EH) to explore the noble ruins that overlook the town whilst enjoying impressive views out to sea. Whitby's annual Regatta creates a real buzz in the town, entertainment includes rowing races, birds of prey, bike stunts and lots more exciting events. Find out more.
