Whitby, North Yorkshire【4K】| Town Centre Walk 2021
Join me for a walk around the stunning seaside town of Whitby, located in an isolated valley on the North Yorkshire coast, surrounded by the spectacular North York Moors. Home to a historic Abbey established in the 7th century, Whitby has been the site of fascinating development through the years, famed in recent times for its association with Bram Stoker's Dracula.
On our walk around Whitby, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Whitby Abbey, Abbey House, St. Mary's Church, Caedmon's Cross, the 199 Steps, Church Street, Wesley Hall, Arguments Yard, Whitby Old Town Hall, Sandgate, Grape Lane, Captain Cook Memorial Hall, Whitby Swing Bridge, the River Esk, Whitby Harbour, the Endeavour (replica), Whitby War Memorial, Baxtergate, St. John the Evangelist Church, St. Hilda's Catholic Church, Old Methodist Church, Flowergate, No. 38 Flowergate, Golden Lion Bank, The Jolly Sailors Inn, Whitby Lifeboat Museum, West Cliff, The Khyber Pass, Whitby West Pier, Whitby East Pier, Whitby's lighthouses and Whitby West Cliff Beach.

Im from Yorkshire i think its the greatest place on Earth and its not just because of how it looks, because its so beautiful, but because of us Yorkshire folk...
Whitby is gorgeous, and the film does it justice, pretty well. The whole section of coast is wonderful, from Saltburn, through Staithes and Runswick Bay, past Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, right down to Scarborough and Filey. Inland lie the little villages and towns of the North York Moors. God's country.

"Bringing droves of tourists to Whitby" really made me laugh, since the place was almost deserted !!! Yet I have been to Whitby many times in the height of summer and especially during the Goth and Folk Festival weeks and let me assure everyone it is absolutely jammed packed and very vibrant - wonderful !! And yes, the bandstand has lots of music played there. Thanks so much for the walk and history.

Thanks for the superb tour of this marvellous Yorkshire coastal town. It brings back many happy memories of visiting from York.
I remember, during ww11, my parents and I had a holiday in Whitby, arriving by train (such an exciting ride, seeing banks of primroses alongside the track). We must then have walked to our accommodation, a house over and near the bridge, with a garden and at the bottom, a gate opening to the river. The luxury item in our very small, brown suitcase, which was probably made of some kind of compressed paper, was a bar of Imperial Leather soap ! I can remember a battalion of soldiers marching through the town, I suppose on their way to the railway station and then into battle overseas. I don’t live in England now but Whitby always has a special place in my memories !

Good evening! I'd like to say a very big thank you for 1,600 subscribers - I'm really glad to hear that you're all enjoying these walks, I'm certainly having a great time making them :) Some bonus info on Whitby Abbey House, which I didn't cover in the video around 3:01: It's a Grade I-listed building, and was built from 1669-72. As you might imagine, it was used for private residence, but was leased to a holiday association in 1896. Today, it's the home of Whitby YHA, one of Britain's most ornate youth hostels!

Just watched an episode of Heartbeat which showed Whitby and I decided to come to KZread and see if I could find a nice video of the place. This was wonderful. I fell in love with Whitby in 1997 and visited three more times over the next 10 years (from Canada). I went there after my sister died in Scotland. I made a Whitby friend who got us into the Whitby Gazette when I was there celebrating my 50th birthday. I loved Whitby so much I named my cat Whitby. It's been 14 years now since I was there and unless I win a lottery it's not likely I'll be able to return, but this is just about like being there. Just listen to those seagulls! Thank you so much!

I love Whitby because of its sinister underbelly. I always feel a strange tension in the air. I remember arriving one evening just as the light was fading. Rain was coming down like stair rods and fork lightning was ripping the dark sky apart while the abbey looked like a colossal vampire perched on the cliff top. The grey haunted sea was folding, slapping and crashing and the sparkle of illuminated windows in the shambolic twisted buildings looked like shimmering gemstones. It was the most atmospheric arrival I've every experienced. It was spine tingling.

You walked right past the famous "magpie cafe" without even a mention !
