Whitby, Yorkshire

A weekend on the North Yorkshire coast — the abbey ruins, the harbour, and the best fish and chips in England.

Whitby, Yorkshire

Whitby is one of those places that just photographs itself. The ruined abbey on the East Cliff, the colourful boats in the harbour, the stacked rooftops — it all adds up.

We arrived on a Friday evening, just as the light was getting golden. Dropped everything and walked straight up to the abbey. Worth every step.
