A warm welcome awaits every guest, Whitby itself has lots of scenic walks nearby. Many guests return to Whitby year after year as there are so many sights, attractions and a fascinating history to discover. The property is located on a street named after William Scoresby who is said to have invented the ’crow’s nest’, the look out at the top of the ship. The idea of this was rumoured to have been created by the Viking ships which in the past had invaded Whitby. It is still a proud seafaring town, you can find out more at the museums or even first hand up at the abbey ruins. Walk through the whale bone archway on the West Cliff or visit the shipwreck on Saltwick bay and look up into the cliffs to spot the smuggler’s tunnels.
For those who wish to experience the wonders of this inspiring area, why not take a long, lazy walk amid the scenic beauty of the North York Moors National Park, which can be accessed by the heritage steam train winding its way through the rolling hills of heather. You can also explore quaint coastal villages such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes or Runswick Bay. Take in the sights along the seafront at Filey, Scarborough or Saltburn. And if you’re a history buff, take a trip into York to soak up the culture brought by both the Romans and the Vikings. Closer to home, you are just a leisurely stroll away from the many attractions the popular seaside town of Whitby has to offer, including the long golden stretch of sandy beach, the 199 steps up to the St Mary’s Church perched on the cliff top, the boat trips and the freshly caught fish and seafood.
In the evenings you have the most relaxing holiday home to return to. Enjoy dinner al fresco out in the enclosed private courtyard, or treat your loved ones to a home cooked dinner in the dining room, where you can laugh and reflect on the memories you have newly created together.
