Ways to pass the time in Whitby
What to do while your in Whitby
Take a sight seeing trip, by sea
You get a fantastic view of the town from the sea. The views from the harbour are stunning and the view of Whitby from out at sea is really unique. You will enjoy unseen views of the Abbey and West Cliff, while enjoying the breeze and commentary on board the boats.
The Esk Belle is a good boat trip and can be booked from the harbour on the west side of town.
Have a day fishing
There are several spots to go fishing in Whitby. You can catch Mackerel, Cod, Whiteing and Billet depending on the time of year.You do not have to pay any licence fees when fishing from the piers or the shore.
Good baits can include lugworms, mussels and spinners There are two good fishing tackle shops in town that can supply bait and accessories. If you ask the local anglers, they all swear by peeler crab as bait in the summer months.
Go on a boat trip
There are many boat fishing trips available from Whitby Harbour. These boat trips are a great day out and all tackle and bait is usually supplied on the day. Ask in the local fishing tackle shops for more information on these boat fishing trips. Be careful and do some research on boat fishing before you book your trip. Make sure you check that bait and tackle are supplies as part of the trip cost. If your away with a group then these boat fishing trips can be great fun.
Fishing from Whitby Piers
The west pier at Whitby can supplied endless fun for the visiting tourist. Make sure you check the tides before you start fishing. Most fish are caught of the pier at high tide. When the summer starts to fade away and we move into autumn, you can expect bigger fish such as whiteing and cod to be caught from the pier. Please be aware of other anglers and boats when fishing from the peir.
Find some Whitby Fossils
Searching for fossils is a great way to spend a few hours while in Whitby. You can find Whitby Jet, reptiles and other ammonites while searching through the rocks and cliff faces. There are many fossil hot beds in Whitby and Sandsend. Be wary of falling rock faces and shard rocks, take extra care with children. Make sure you always go onto the beach at low tide and allow for plently of time to get back to the beach should your venture around the cliff face.
Take a visit to the historic Whitby Abbey
Whitby Abbey, an iconic gothic ruin, rests on the East Cliff above the famous seaside town. Its a great reminder of the early power of the church, a great piece of architecture.
Climb the 199 steps to the abbey to enjoy views of the unspoilt beauty of Whitby Harbour, the Esk Valley and the glorious Yorkshire coastline. The Abbey ruins themselves are a great inspiration to many people, even Bram Stoker, who based part of his well known novel “Dracula” on the inspiration from Whitby Abbey.
There are also some beautiful gardens and a lake to see, not to mention one of the UK’s best Youth Hostels next door to the Abbey, Whitby Abbey is one of Whitby’s most defining features.
Whitby Museum is full of history
The Museum is an independant Museum with many fantastic displays. It contains a wide range of selections and is regarded by many as one of the best museum displays in the whole of Yorkshire.
Collections include spectacular fossil marine reptiles, locally sought Jet, you will find some great Captain Cook pieces and collections, many model ships, natural history, archaeology, bygones, costumes, toys and dolls, ethnography, samplers, ceramics, militaria, coins and medals, as well as the famed ‘Hand of Glory’ and much more.
