9 Nature & Parks in Whitby That You Shouldn't Miss
Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English county of North Yorkshire. It is located within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port developed during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was (along with the nearby fishing village of Staithes) where Captain Cook learned seamanship.

We held a party here for my sons 6th birthday, he had 9 friends, they played in the soft play area then we we were called upstairs for food.... fab food, a sausage, chicken nuggets, and a fish finger with chips! They could have beans if they wanted! The ladies serving were lovely! They then had ice cream or ice lollies! Then back downstairs for laser tag! The guy explained the rules then off they went through the play barn with their guns! Fab soundtrack playing to get the adrenaline going! Even the dads got to have a go! Really reasonable too, was £15 per child for all that!! We had an amazing time and I couldn’t recommend it enough! We didn’t know mini monsters did laser tag so this was a great find!! Thank you to all at Mini Monsters in Ruswarp, you have a great team!!

Reviewed By 441tonye - Clayton le Woods, United Kingdom
I was staying at the lovely Arundel Hotel opposite Pannett Park and always walked into Whitby town through the park using different routes, there is so much to see and being a keen gardener I enjoyed looking at the tremendous variety of well kept blooms and bushes. The art gallery contained beautiful paintings and leads into the museum. Dotted around are massive wood carvings made from existing trees, the large floral clock, the Whitby timeline and the Jurassic pavements are all interesting and truly magnificient. *** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ***

Fabulous outdoor tea room. Magical setting in beautiful woodland with a spectacular waterfall. Friendly staff. Food was epic. The best bacon cobs we have ever had. Tasty nachos. Great cake. Just wish now we had tried the fabulous looking scones too. Good size teapots. Fire pit with marshmallows to toast for the children. Lovely play area. Some of the seating was undercover. Our boys (6 and 3) thought it was so awesome we had to return for a second visit during our half term holiday in North Yorkshire. They are still talking about their visit to the falling foss.
