Whitby

Is almost rowdy by comparison but the local ‘big’ town is a seaside destination with its full harbour, a cliff top walk and abbey, quaint side streets, donkeys and a fun fair by the beach and all with a touch of Dracula, only 13 miles away from Staithes.  If you fancy a bite then the Whitby Goth Festival is a sight to behold in October, at night of course.
