SIGHTSEEING
Just a short walk from the park is the magnificent sight of Whitby Abbey which is definitely worth a visit if you are staying with us. They have various activities throughout the year to keep both children & adults entertained. October is especially nice as they have the Abbey open in the night for their illumination displays.
Next to the Abbey there is St Mary's Church which is rumoured to be the burial place of Dracula and the views from the churchyard are superb. The church itself is open to the public and at Christmas time it gets filled with Christmas trees from all the local Whitby businesses. It's definitely worth a visit.
After the church you can enjoy the views as you make your way down the famous 199 steps into the old town of Whitby which is very quaint with it's cobbled streets and interesting shops.
You can walk down to the end of both of Whitby's Piers, but the lighthouse on the west pier is open to the public so you can enjoy the fantastic views over Whitby.
Up on West Cliff there is a statue of Captain Cook and the famous Whale Bone arch. It is very popular to have your picture taken at the Whale bones with the iconic Abbey in the background.
Whitby's viaduct is quite an impressive sight. It is estimated that it took around 5 million bricks to build, is 125ft high, 915ft long and consists of 13 arches.
ATTRACTIONS
If Captain Cook is of interest to you there is a museum in Whitby where you can find out lots more about him and his adventures.
Whitby is world famous for it's Dracula connection. Bram Stoker got his inspiration from seeing the Abbey shrouded in mist and there is a bench dedicated to him on Khyber Pass. There is also the Dracula experience in Whitby.

If you like fishing there are boats that take tourists out for the day on fishing trips. If you prefer to fish off the shore then Saltwick Bay beach is ideal. It runs direct from the park so you don't even have to worry about taking the car out as it's just a 2 minute walk.
Saltwick Bay Beach which is also great for the children to have a play and to go fossil hunting. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year too which is an added bonus.
There are so many local areas for great walks. One of the best walks is right on our doorstep and that is the Cleveland Way foot path which runs for 110 miles in total. We are situated between Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay so if you are staying with us you can go either way. The path to Whitby is a mile and the path to Robin Hood's Bay is 6 miles (don't tell anyone, but I cheat by walking to Robin Hood's Bay and catching the bus back to Whitby. Shhhh!).
