Learn more about hotels in Whitby

Established on the North Yorkshire coast, Whitby is a town steeped in history. Famous explorers learned their trade here, and their ships, including Captain Cook's 'The Endeavour', were built in this port. Each building carries a tale, from the grand, ruined Whitby Abbey to the ancient swing bridge crossing the River Esk.

Whitby's past is not only maritime. Its geological wealth is legendary. Jet and alum, both locally mined minerals, were highly sought after in the 19th century, with Whitby jet being a fashionable accessory of the age. The town also boasts a robust literary tradition, notably its connection to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', a history that adds to the unique charm and allure of Whitby.

When to visit Whitby

Whitby proves to be a joy to visit throughout the year, but the warmer, drier months of June, July, and August are particularly appealing. The pleasant summer weather lends itself to leisurely exploration of the town's landmarks and landscapes, and it's during this tourist season that you'll find the atmosphere at its liveliest.

However, the charm of Whitby isn’t limited to the summer. Off-peak months offer cooler temperatures but equally enticing holiday opportunities. With the dramatic backdrop of the North Sea, Whitby's atmospheric beauty in the off-peak season is truly unforgettable. Just remember to pack according to the season!
