The Waverley is situated
on Whitby's famous West Cliff and therefore conveniently positioned for the promenade, beach, town centre, harbour and shops. Within a 10-15 minute stroll you can be
in the old town. There are many interesting shops selling all kinds of goods from Whitby Jet to specialist chocolates, from
kippers to jewellery, clothes and much more. You can also visit the world famous Sutcliffe gallery and see photos from days
gone by - you can even have your photo taken wearing various clothes from yesteryear.
Take a short drive from Whitby in any direction and you will find many other interesting attractions which include:
Magnificent North Yorkshire Moors
The Esk Valley
Goathland (the location of Heartbeat)
Runswick Bay
Robin Hood’s Bay
Venturing a little further afield you can visit other east coast resorts which include Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington
to the south and Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Redcar to the north. Within less than an hour’s drive you will find York, Pickering,
Guisborough, Stokesley and Thornton-le-Dale to name but a few.
Whitby is an ideal holiday destination
as there are activities in and around Whitby to suit all tastes. The area is a walker's paradise, a historian's delight and
a coastal gem. Children love the traditional bucket and spade holiday accompanied by crab fishing, amusements and ensuring
that there really are 199 steps leading to the Abbey. In short, Whitby has it all!
