Things to do in Whitby, England: The Best Walking Tours
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.

The idea behind Whitby Town Walking Tours was to tell the story of our town. The original plan was to craft a single tour capturing Whitby's rich history, geology and importance during the Age of Discovery. It soon became obvious that one tour could not do this justice and instead we decided to offer four unique tours. These are: Whitby & Whitby Abbey, Voyages of Discovery, Jurassic Coast and Art & Literature. Each tour offers something for everyone and they are suitable for all ages.
