Whitby High Lighthouse (called this on Admiralty Charts to distinguish it from the two lighthouses in Whitby) is still in operation by Trinity House and was automated in the 1990s, hence the keeper's cottage is now available as a holiday let.

St Mary's Church and Churchyard, Whitby

Highlight • Historical Site

This is a delightful, quirky and very interesting church at the top of 199 Steps, next to Whitby Abbey. Founded in 1110, but with much of the interior from the 18th century, the Grade I-listed church is steeped in history with fantastic ornamental stone work and Gothic arches. The connection to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' makes it a haunting place to visit, too.

199 Steps, Whitby

Highlight • Historical Site

Climbing the 199 Steps in Whitby is a legendary thing to do. The challenge might get you puffing a little, but it is worth it as you are treated to incredible sweeping views over Whitby and the sea. Along the way, you can visit Grade I-listed St Mary's Church and, at the top, you reach the magnificent Whitby Abbey, the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’.

Hadley's Fish and Chips

Highlight • Restaurant

When you visit Whitby, you have to get some Fish & Chips. Hadley's is renowned for being one of the best. While it may not be as historic as certain others in town, it is absolutely delicious here, always cooked to perfection, with friendly staff and great service. Plus it is ideally located near to 199 Steps.

Whitby Harbour

Highlight • Historical Site

Whitby is a traditional seaside town that is dearly loved by young and old alike. With a glorious golden beach, quirky cobbled streets that wind enticingly through old taverns and pubs — frequented by sailors and smugglers in times gone by — and a bustling harbour overlooked by the striking Gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey, it is an intriguing and beautiful place. With connections to Captain Cook and Dracula, too, Whitby truly is a place unlike any other.

The Endeavour

Highlight • Monument

A full-size replica of Captain Cook's HM Bark Endeavour, known as The Endeavour Experience, is permanently berthed in Whitby Harbour and functions as a visitor attraction, restaurant, and event venue.
