    Hiking

    Whaling is a significant part of Whitby's history - as the information board tells you here, between 1753 and 1833 there were 55 Whitby-based whaling ships. This arch celebrates this history. The original arch was erected in 1853; this one was donated by Alaska in 2003. Whitby Abbey is visible on the cliff from here.
