Exploring Whitby
Here you can find many of the great places Whitby has to offer.
From coastal walks and historic landmarks, to great food, family activities and dog-friendly days out, Whitby has something for everyone. Staying on the outskirts of town at Broomfields Holidays puts it all within easy reach.
Atop the peak of the cliffs overlooking the town stands the Whitby Abbey. Established in the 7th century and disestablished in the 16th, the site has a rich history which you can see for yourself during your time here.
Between the various houses lies Pannett Park, a pleasant place that is perfect for a walk and has a good playground area for the kids.
Within the park you can find the Whitby museum where you can learn about the abundant history of the famous town. From the vast array of fossils to the shipping life in the Victorian era, the museum offers plenty to learn.
Here you can learn of the great Captain Cook and his famous voyages to explore and map new lands. Whitby was the very place where the man learnt his seaman skills and is a much celebrated figure in our town.
Delve into the dark world of Dracula and his famous arrival to the shores of Whitby.
Before the swing bridge you can find several boats ready to take you out beyond the harbour to feel the sea air and to see the famous coast from a unique perspective.
Here you can find the little hatchery where lobsters are incubated, hatched and released back into the wild. Alongside this wonderful process, you can find various creatures of the sea.
If you're in need of a good fun challenge during your stay then this escape room offers just that.
If you love walks or bike rides then the cinder track offers perhaps the best place in the North East. Stretching from Whitby to Scarbrough, the path showcases a plethora of fantastic landscapes in the inviting air of woods and country.
A short way down the cinder track and you will come to the historic town of Robin Hoods Bay. A beautiful vibrant town with incredible views and beach perfect for dogs and families.
