Going on holiday in Whitby

Whitby is a truly special, year-round destination. The town is split by two attractions: typical picture-postcard seaside scenes and atmospheric historical buildings, from ancient abbeys to quaint 18th-century fisherman’s cottages. Summer is the best period to visit for beachgoers and al fresco dining. July to August is also when the nearby North York Moors bloom purple with heather. For something different, the town comes to life during Halloween with a famed Goth Weekend, complete with black clad-vampires and cyberpunk cosplayers who descend upon the area. Weather can be brisk owing to the coastal winds, but the town remains pretty in colder months with cheaper deals.
