2020 Holidays

Whitby Holiday Park 2020

As 2019 will soon be over now is a great time to be thinking about your holidays for 2020, and where better to book your next holiday than with us here at Whitby Holiday Park!!

With something to offer everyone this is a great place for your holiday in Whitby...

We are set in the beautiful location of Saltwick Bay with views over the sea one way and views of the famous Whitby Abbey the other way. 

                                                                                                        Our touring field has nice large grass pitches with electric hook up and some are on the cliff edge overlooking the sea for that extra special view (can't you just picture yourself sat outside your van on a beautiful sunny day soaking up that sea air? Bliss!!).  All these grass pitches are suitable for tourers, motorhomes and campervans alike, and there are water points and elsan points located around the touring field.

However,  if you have a motorhome or campervan and would prefer to be on a hard standing pitch then we do have some of those too.  These are situated more centrally on the park near to all the facilities and have water & electric on each pitch. There is an elsan point near by too.

Don't worry if you don't have your own caravan or motorhome to stay in as we also rent out our static holiday homes. We have platinum rated for that extra home from home comfort and pet friendly so you can bring along your dogs too. All our static holiday homes have the luxury of double glazing and central heating, and are fitted with all you should need for a comfy holiday. Bedding is also provided so you don't have to worry about forgetting anything.

On the park for children

We have a great little children's play park to keep the little ones entertained for a many hours. 

Saltwick Bay beach is accessible directly from the park and this is a brilliant beach for fossil hunting, making sandcastles, exploring shipwrecks (when the tide is low enough), or even just having a little splash in the sea.

If you've had enough sun and sea you can escape for a couple of hours with a family friendly film in our Galleon Bar Cinema. There are up to 3 different films showing most days which are advertised on the bar notice board. 

On the park for adults

We have a cafe on site serving fantastic home cooked meals. If you don't fancy cooking your breakfast in the morning the cafe serves a delicious Yorkshire cooked breakfast which will set you up for the day. They also  serve a selection of cakes which can be enjoyed with a cup of  tea or      coffee if you fancy a treat on an afternoon. 

          

The Galleon Bar is a great venue to while away a few hours. Whether you fancy a film in our free cinema, just a quiet drink or even fancy a game of bingo or some horse racing fun there is something to please everyone. We will be having various events and entertainment throughout the year too so please keep an eye on our Facebook page for further information. 

If you fancy a drink but don't want to miss out on the sunshine then we have a beer garden which is a great sun trap 🌞 Don't worry, you can also bring your dogs along as the beer garden, cinema and bottom room of the Galleon Bar are all dog friendly areas 🐶🐕

On the park for Dogs

Your furry friends are very well catered for when you stay with us. We all love Dogs here and they will have no end of cuddles from us. They are allowed into the Galleon as described above, but they are also allowed into the cafe for their sausage breakfast 😉 Saltwick Bay beach is also Dog friendly no matter what time of year you come to stay with us, then when you've managed to get them away from all the fun at the beach you can clean them off in our lovely warm dog shower 🚿

Even though Whitby town is easily accessed via the cliff path walk (just 1 mile), with so much to occupy you on our park you may never want to leave. 

Whatever it is you like to do on your holidays I'm positive once you've stayed here with us you won't want to holiday anywhere else.

            Why not give us a call today to see if we can accommodate you. Call on 01947 602664

Hope to see you all in 2020

Keeping the kids entertained

Keeping the kids entertained during the holidays........

There's nothing worse than trying to entertain kids, whether it be for a couple of hours, one day or several days!  If you're staying here with us at Whitby Holiday Park this season, why not have a look at the following activities which are all very child friendly!  These are just a handful of the things that you can do with kids.......

DOODLEPOTS

All you need to succeed at Doodlepots Ceramic Cafe is - well, to go!

Everything else is already there including inspiration, materials, friendly technical support and expert guidance! You don't have to be particularly good at art or have any experience to turn out something pretty if you pick items suited to your skill level, and there are a wide range of options to choose from ensuring that's not a problem!

Doodlepots is located on Skinner Street in Whitby. Children choose a piece to paint, either a plate, mug, vase etc. They paint their pot in the colours and designs they want, then the pot is glazed and fired at Doodlepots for the customer to collect later or it can be posted to them. Hot and cold drinks and a selection of cakes are also available here.

The Whitby Vampire Curse Treasure Trail

Suitable for children over 9 yrs old

You'll need to work together as a family to make it through the Whitby Curse of the Vampire self-guided treasure hunt themed Treasure Trail.

See Whitby as Bram Stoker did when he invented Count Dracula and take a closer look at some of the fascinating plaques, signs and buildings along the route!

As you follow the clear directions, you'll be seeking the answers to the clues in order to solve this mystery and lift the mysterious curse!

This 2.5 mile route explores both the east and west sides of the town - allow around 3 hours, longer if you plan on stopping for lunch or visiting the abbey at the end of the Trail.

Once you have a final answer, go to the Treasure Trails website to submit it and if you're right, find out how to break the curse!

Whitby Surf School

Suitable for ages: Young Children (4-8), Older Children (9-12) and Teenagers (13-18)

Ride the waves with Whitby Surf School!

The school is located on the promenade of the award winning West Cliff Beach meaning you'll be treated to some stunning coastal views whilst you take on the waves. Learn to surf or stand up paddleboard with fully qualified Beach Life Guards, Surfing GB / WSA Surf / SUP Instructors.

If you're keen on exploring then take one of the school's paddleboard trips. Discover new places for flat water touring or wave surfing with one of the all-inclusive trips. Don't worry if you don't have your own equipment as it is all available to hire.

Try something new and have lots of fun!

• Paddleboard tours
• Kayak hire
• Surfboard, paddleboard, wetsuit hire

Mini Monsterz

Suitable for all ages

Mini Monsterz is a huge indoor play area, and a fantastic party venue, with some of the biggest slides in North Yorkshire! The catch is you have to catch the slides while they're open as they require staff supervision (they're that big) so be sure to listen out for the announcement, and then charge up there at all speed and try to beat the crowd!

The older kids have access to two linked frames so there are absolutely tons of features to get to grips with and plenty of space to do it in. The toddler area is actually at least the same size as the secondary main frame so they have more room than usual and proper stepped levels. Awesome!

Plus a superb auto belay climbing wall in the corner (that adults can use too! See who can get the highest!) and pottery painting on the first floor, though opening may vary with staffing for both of these features so try to be flexible. There's also laser tag available but this is after hours within the play frame so needs to be planned separately

Outdoorz is a huge outdoor part of Mini Monsterz, packed with lots of animals, from pigs and donkeys to snakes and chipmunks. Come along and feed them, pet them, and have your photos taken in front of them! There are also a few bits of sturdy play equipment out here to enjoy.

They offer unlimited play time, that means that unlike other places, you pay a one off price and stay as long as you want.

The Amusements On Pier Road

On Pier road there are three amusement arcades. As well as the usual bingo, slot machines and small children's rides there is also crazy golf with a pirate theme, shooting gallery, mini ten pin bowling and a soft play centre for younger children, alongside a cafe for the parents to supervise from.

Whitby Museum

Suitable for all ages

Whitby Museum has something for all ages with collections covering the Natural World, Social History, Textiles and Art, Whaling, and local history.

The Cabinet of Curiosities, or Ripley Cabinet, has numerous drawers to investigate the eclectic contents. If you like strange stuff, you should also see the Hand of Glory and the Tempest Prognosticator in the Special Collection.

If you are feeling adventurous, try out the free Museum trail, which will take you on a voyage of discovery and has questions to answer.

There is a great collection of fossils, which goes well with the Jurassic garden. A free leaflet for this too, just ask the friendly custodian.

You will also get the chance to find out about Captain James Cooke and world cultures in the overseas collection, plus you will want to take a look at the sailing exhibition, which has some excellent model ships, including one made of bones by French prisoners of war.

Ruswarp Boats

Along this stretch of the River Esk is Ruswarp Pleasure Boats where boats can be hired to row down the River Esk till nearly as far as Sleights. This is a lovely, tranquil stretch of river, bordered by overhanging branches and inhabited by ducks and some swans. Fishing is available from here. There is a miniature railway, with a small car park, the train runs on a weekend Easter to October and all the school holidays.

Pannett Park

Suitable for all ages

Pannett Park has a fun and friendly family environment that everyone will enjoy.

There is a peaceful lily pond to sit by in the shelter or surrounding benches where dragonflies often play, plus a reflective spot in the Commemorative Garden with wonderful views and an inspiring inscription in the sandstone walls for the kids to think about.

There is a play area with a maritime theme, which is based on designs by local children and has something for all ages from about 3 years through around 8 or 9. Good visibility from the benches for parents.

The Jurassic Gardens form a link with the fossil collection in the local museum, with huge lush plants similar to those from that period of time and a footpath with details of fossils that are likely to be found in the area and a really cool replica of a Gharial crocodile to check out.

The Community Garden is definitely worth a look as it is where local groups are developing gardens with food crops, plus there is an outdoor classroom.

Connected to the park by Union Terrace is the South Seas garden with more luscious plant samples that reflect the Southern hemisphere and has Maori artwork and imagery to enjoy.

It is a good idea to check online before you visit as a number of events and activities are held throughout the year.

Outdoor Paddling Pool

On the West Cliff, there are a number of activities suitable for children. There is a 'pitch and putt' golf green for older children close to the leisure centre.

Near the Cliff lift, is the Crazy Golf, always a favourite the old and young alike! 

Also on the West Cliff there is an outdoor paddling pool with public conveniences close by and a new skateboarding area has recently been built.

These are just some of the things to do in Whitby with your children, but as we all know, kids do like to make their own fun too. A bucket & spade on the beach can keep them happy for hours 😃

April 2019

April is a fantastic time of year!! Spring is in the air, all the new flowers are starting to Spring up, and the little Lambs start frolicking in the fields. What better time of year to get a holiday booked? 

Whitby is an amazing place any time of the year, but I think Spring time is extra special. It's when everything starts to 'come to life'... all the flowers on the park start blooming, the birds are busy making their nests for their chicks, the Bees and Butterflies start flitting about... it's just superb!!!  

So this is a fantastic time to get your next holiday booked here at Whitby Holiday Park!! We have touring pitches for motorhomes / campervans and touring caravans. We also have a selection of Holiday Homes for hire... we have Pet Friendly accommodation so your furry friends can also have a holiday; we have Gold standard accommodation for that 'home from home' holiday; and we have Platinum standard accommodation for that extra bit of added luxury.
