This tour has now been and gone, but don't worry, we've got lots more Great Days Out to choose from.

We’ll start the day in the harbour town of Whitby, famous for its fresh fish & chips and steeped in history. Perhaps head to one of the town's many attractions to find out more about its past – 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 to explore the noble ruins that overlook the town whilst enjoying impressive views out to sea.

Then on to the picturesque fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay with its cobbled streets and twisty alleyways through which you can easily imagine the smugglers and sailors trudging many years ago. Today the vibrant village hosts a great choice of cafés, pubs and boutique shops to explore. The sandy beach is backed by steep cliffs and fronted by rock pools where you might be lucky enough to spot an ancient fossil.

There are also some stunning coastal paths leading away from both towns with the famous Cleveland Way linking the two. Don’t forget your walking boots if you fancy exploring a section of this beautiful National Trail.

We’re due to arrive in Whitby at 12:30, dropping you in a central location on Langbourne Road. At 15:00 we’ll set off for Robin Hood’s Bay arriving at 15:20 and stopping at Station Yard Coach Park. We’ll head home at 17:30.

Please note that both resorts are quite hilly with many steps around the towns.
