-==Introduction==- Ah.. Whitby, without question my favourite place in the world, my second home situated on isolated north yorkshire coast, completely unaffected by time and miles away from any cities or large towns, the closest being Scarborough, some 20 or so miles south. Whitby is remarkably well preserved and still ...  Read the complete review

Location We have always visited Whitby since I was tiny and when I was about 6 I started going and staying in a caravan for one week a year with my Great Auntie and Uncle. Whitby is about an hour away from us and so make a good place for days out too, it is set on the coast in North Yorkshire over the North Yorkshire Moors. ...  Read the complete review

I was born and raised in Whitby so naturally this is going to be a positive review, and I will probably rattle on forever so forgive me! Sadly my family moved away from Whitby when I was 13 but I've been making regular trips back in the last 10 years whenever I can to visit friends and take a little holiday. Whitby, in my ...  Read the complete review

The family and I decided to go to York for a short break and found ourselves going to Whitby for the day. Now this was a first for us as we have a love affair with Cornwall, so a new experience. Whitby in general is OK but like a lot of small fishing towns there's alway cars driving through and take over the area, one lady got knocked ...  Read the complete review

Having just returned from a day trip to whitby, i have to say i was pleasantly suprised. It is a quaint, little pictuesque harbour with lots of lovely shops and places to eat. It is quite old style sea side, which appealed to me, apart from a few arcades it is a lovely peaceful place. There are boat trips for the kids, a fantastic ...  Read the complete review

Whitby is for me one of the best short break locations in the UK, combining a very traditional cobble street with lovely little gift shops and the 199 stairs up to the beautiful abbey and a more modern sea side town with arcades, fish and chips and plenty of sea side rock. I have enjoyed all that Whitby as to offer for over ...  Read the complete review

Whitby is an absolute gem of a town! I started to visit Whitby in 2005. Me and my partner went for a weekend and loved it. It was that good that we booked the next weekend there for a month later and took my parents! (They also loved Whitby!). There are plenty of things to do and see in Whitby, for all ages. Next to the Royal ...  Read the complete review

Whitby is a small town situated on the north east coast; I have visited Whitby on many occasions, and love it, Whitby has many pubs, tea shops, café, and restaurants, and it is famous for fish and chips.which are great believe me. Whitby is a maze of alleyways; cobbled streets which are always very busy, there is a wide ...  Read the complete review

I am sorry to say that your opinion of the worst fish and chip shop on the east coast has been superseded by beeford fish and chip shop. http://www.greatdriffield.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2530Situated not far from bridlington. No one, to my knoledge has even tried eating them. As to whitby. I have to say that they have some of the best fish and chips going. The one just over the bridge next to the antique fancy goods shop is excellent.

HALLOWEEN IN WHITBY Whitby is a holiday town on the north Yorkshire coast, an old fishing port. But if you visited the area this weekend, a few days before Halloween, you might have seen spooky goings on aplenty! First of all, some information about Whitby and the surrounding area. It is a picturesque place, with an ...  Read the complete review

One of the best places to eat is the Magpie Restaurant. Quality food. Next to it is the worst fish and chips I have had in my life. They were half eaten at the ENDEAVOUR RESOLUTION. A good name we endeavoured to get through the meal and made a resolution never to visit them again. If you want I can sent you a picture of what the food ...  Read the complete review

Dear Whitby; a little town which I think of as a village and so close to my heart even though I am a despised southerner. When my late husband - a Yorkshireman through and through - took me for the first time to Whitby he told me two things, one an absolute porky and the other the absolute truth. The first ...  Read the complete review

This weekend past I travelled to Stockton-on –tees to see a friend and a group of us students travelled to Whitby on the 13:20 bus from Middlesbrough bus station to Scarborough that stops at Whitby. The cost was an agreeable £4.50 return and it takes around 45 mins from Middlesbrough. The journey took us through the stunning ...  Read the complete review

Whitby, a small town with a big history to it. I was raised in Whitby and know the place like the back of my hand; it's one of those lovely little towns with not a lot to do and not a lot of life. The perfect place for a visit, the worlds worst place to grow up in. How to get there: ----------------- Whitby is ...  Read the complete review

I recently spent a week in the historic fishing town of Whitby on the Yorkshire coast. It is located around a harbour bay with a clear distinction drawn between its eastern and western halves. Located 16 miles from Scarborough, Whitby is a harmonious blend of old and new, with locals and tourists, catering for both but trying not to ...  Read the complete review

Whitby Now? You must be joking The Town stinks of sewage from that great big pumping station they've built on the harbour! There's sod all to do except go down town and avoid children sat in the bus station - full of cider or Pot! I remember growing up in Whitby - I now live in London and a less ...  Read the complete review

Whitby is famous as the place where Bram Stoker’s Dracula came ashore all those years ago and there are plenty of museums dedicated to the neck-biting vampire, but Whitby has so much more to offer. It is a busy fishing and tourist town on the coast of Yorkshire and if you’re a fan of Heartbeat, as I am, you’ll ...  Read the complete review
