Close by, Whitby marina is the place to watch fishing and pleasure boats come and go into the harbour, passing under the swing bridge which links the ‘old town’. In August, the Whitby regatta is a superb event showcasing yacht and rowing races, and has expanded over the years to include a large fair, fireworks and Red Arrows display. There are no shortages of fantastic fish restaurants and the waterfront is dotted with lovely bars with outdoor seating. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum provides a fascinating insight into Whitby’s most famous seafaring son.

The Yorkshire coastline encompasses some of the UKs most rugged and beautiful countryside. For unspoilt scenery, try the coastal walking paths around the pretty fishing villages of Robin Hood’s Bay or Staithes.
