Whitby is a picturesque harbour town in North Yorkshire, with stone cottages, cobbled lanes, independent shops, great beaches and, of course, overlooked by the abbey. For dog owners, you have plenty of things to do in Whitby:
- Whitby Abbey: Explore the ruins of Whitby Abbey, perched atop the East Cliff overlooking the town. Learn about the abbey's rich history, including its connections to Bram Stoker's "Dracula," and enjoy panoramic views of the coastline from the abbey grounds.
- St. Mary's Church and Churchyard: Visit St. Mary's Church, which is adjacent to Whitby Abbey. Explore the churchyard, which offers like the abbey stunning views of the town, harbour, and surrounding countryside. See if you can find tombstones that inspired Bram Stoker's depiction of Whitby in "Dracula."
- Whitby Harbour: Stroll along Whitby Harbour, sit and watch the fishing and tourist boats come and go, and explore the bustling quayside with its shops, cafes, and seafood restaurants.
- 199 Steps: Climb the famous 199 Steps from the old town to St. Mary's Church and Whitby Abbey.
- Whitby Beach: You have a selection of beaches all within walking distance, and although some have seasonal restrictions, others allow dogs all year.
- Coastal Walks: Explore the scenic beauty of the Yorkshire coastline with a walk along the Cleveland Way National Trail or the Whitby to Sandsend Coastal Path. Enjoy breathtaking views of the cliffs, beaches, and sea stacks as you hike along the rugged coastline.
