⚓ Historic Harbour & Pier Walks

🛍️ Shops & Artisan Finds
Whitby is famed for its jet jewellery, crafted from the local black gemstone. The narrow streets of the old town are filled with independent shops, galleries, and craft stores – perfect for finding a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
🐟 Famous Fish & Chips
You can’t visit Whitby without sampling its world-renowned fish and chips! Choose from award-winning eateries such as Magpie Café, Trenchers, or enjoy a seaside takeaway to eat on a bench overlooking the sea. Fancy something sweeter? Grab a lemon top ice cream or visit one of the charming bakeries and tearooms.
