Things to do in Whitby

There are plenty of things to do in Whitby, from a stroll along the beach and pier – perhaps with some of the town’s famous fish and chips in hand - to counting the steps up to St Mary’s Church.

Then, of course, there’s the famous Whitby Abbey and many museums to explore. Or perhaps you fancy a scenic trip in a steam train on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway? It takes you from Whitby to Pickering crossing historical viaducts and stopping at pretty Goathland station which was featured in the Harry Potter movies.
