A popular seaside town, Whitby provides all the essentials of a quintessential English coastal town, with plenty of local shops, cafes, famous fish and chip shops, and restaurants scattered throughout the town and with easy access to the beach, perfect for scenic walks along the coastline.
Close to the North York Moors, Whitby lies approximately halfway between the larger seaside town of Scarborough some 7 miles to the south and Redcar adjoining the Teesside community approximately 15 miles to the northwest. It is most easily accessed from the larger Yorkshire area by way of the A169 towards Pickering.
