The quaint town of Whitby is situated on the shores of Yorkshire, where the River Esk flows out into the sea. With cobbled streets lined with fish markets and shops, you won’t run out of exciting activities to do. As the town is divided into two by the river, you can first explore West Cliff, where the town’s maritime heritage is memorialized. Here you will find a statue and a museum dedicated to the voyager Captain James Cook. Cross the swing bridge to East Cliff and climb the iconic 199 steps to reach the desolate Whitby Abbey, which has inspired countless writers including the Gothic novelist Bram Stoker.
