Spending the day in Whitby, England (not what we expected)

As we make our way through Yorkshire, we are stopping in the coastal town of Whitby, England. This is a place that many of our viewers have suggested we visit and is a popular goth tourist destination as Bram Stoker was inspired by Whitby in his novel Dracula. We are spending the day exploring Whitby, checking out some of the iconic locations, trying fish and chips in the North, and taking in the sunshine on this lovely coastal town. Whitby was not quite what we expected, but we had a wonderful time (even though it was a short day).
We'd love to visit Whitby again and I'm sure there are several places we missed, so please let us know where we should check out next time.

Robin Hoods Bay. A short drive from Whitby.....fantastic but hilly

[@MichaelGGarry]

City of Durham. County of Northumberland. Edinburgh. Loch Ness. Edit: Best to travel to Durham on the train from the south - as you go through a cutting, suddenly the city appears below you, castle, cathedral etc. Gorgeous.

[@CH-xn7dk]

Next time, try and stop in Goathland, a few miles up and on the North Yorks Moors. It's a lovely little village, famed for the TV series 'Heartbeat' and the train station is in Harry Potter as Hogsmeade Station. Try a cinder toffee ice cream by Beacon Farm :)

[@alfgarnett3821]

Don't go back to Whitby. Blackpool or Scarborough are mush better seaside towns. I suggest my home city of Hull for a visit. About a 45 minute drive from York.

[@sarahelliott3095]

please when you next visit go to Lincolnshire especially Lincoln and Skegness as yes you have seen Cornwall and Whitby but if you want go on a pier and see some really sandy beaches go to Skegness and you can also see seals at their seal sanctuary, Lincoln itself has a beautiful cathedral and castle and they are steeped in history the battle of Lincoln happened at the Lincoln castle they even have a magna carter inside Lincoln castle you can't take any pictures or videos of it thou so keep that in mind the cathedral is a magnificent building as it used to be the tallest building in the world a very long time ago and if you are going to Lincoln please walk up steep hill as that has some historic builds and a traditional sweet shop perfect to get sweets to try from the uk without having them shipped plus you can see what a traditional sweet shop looks like in England and if you want to go somewhere cool I would recommend the Farnborough air show but you would need to book in advance as it happens around the 18th July and lasts for about a few days to a week and you can see the red arrows as well as they will do a fly over from their base RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire all the way to Farnborough Hampshire

Luv Whitby been visiting the place for nearly 30 years Great show ....

[@jonm4989]

Thank you for being so positive and lovely about England and specifically Whitby. You’re doing a great job of promoting our lovely country. There seems to be plenty of negativity and doom and gloom in the U.K. at the moment so your enthusiasm is very welcome. I really hope you both enjoyed your stay overall.

There no need for doom and gloom people don’t realise that we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and the most advanced nation on this planet,yes things could be better but we live in the most stable countrys it time to count our blessings

THEY have every right for gloom and doom. Guessing your elderly and a Brexit Remainder. Lise the blinkers and the bs. Yes, it's a beautiful country, in many areas. The REAL LIFE shouldn't be ignored though. I'm British, and emigrated, to get far away from your Shangri-la

The Yorkshire coast is stunning, everyone who goes there falls in love with it

[@observer4916]

I'm born and raised in nearby Teesside and Whitby has always been my local getaway. Ever since I was a young boy my dad would take me to Whitby during the long summer days, and now as an adult I visit Whitby several times per year. It just never gets old. It occupies a very special place in my heart and I am absolutely in love with it. Wherever I go in life, wherever I end up, I'll always carry a part of Whitby with me.

[@davidmcnally6296]

As a 69 years old smoggy I agree

[@janebeattie9071]

Same here, it's a special place I have always loved visiting. 😍

Whitby is also the place where the first words were written down in English, by a monk from the Abbey. His name was Caedmon and he wrote a poem in around 670 AD. It is also where the dates for Easter were agreed. Check out Saint Hilda.

[@danic9304]

Lovely to see England through fresh eyes. Yes , so many differences by region and town. 👍

[@garagenigel]

I'm so happy you visited Whitby....that part of the world is my favourite place to go! On your next visit I would recommend Robin Hoods Bay approximately 5 miles down the coast from Whitby, Staithes 11miles and Runswick bay 9 miles up the coast all three are amazing little fishing villages!

[@freethinker--]

Robin hoods Bay is lovely, unfortunately I come from Suffolk so it's a bit of a trek.

[@johnwilson6779]

Staithes is absolutely beautiful.

[@sphinx333]

Cutest couple, love how unpretentious they are. As a londoner, it was cool to revisit things and places I see every day and no longer pay attention to.

Mmmm.. fish, chips, peas.... AND CURRY SAUCE! You guys are definitely honorary northerners now. 👍👍

[@hazelhatswell4268]

You are so enthusiastic! It’s a pleasure to watch your travels and see places I’ve known for yonks through fresh eyes 😊 thank you!

[@martinbobfrank]

I'm from the Northwest of England, and some of the terms of the food are the same here, and that's strange for the UK. We had 'scaps' from chippies when teenagers, 'Chips & Scraps.' A lot of people from the UK have never heard of or had them. Some good crunch to that fish, and the mushy peas looked good; some chippies around the country sell solid peas (bullets almost), and some not at all! A chip butty with proper butter is a must, and in my home town you can also buy buttered bread slices from the chippy, and so I am glad they do them there. I've never been to Whitby, but it's a town name that is well known. Thank you for the video, and it looked like you enjoyed your visit.

[@mehitabel6564]

The Magpie Cafe in Whitby does the best fish & chips hands down! Even in Whitby. They have a sit-down eat-in cafe, and next to it a takeaway. It's a golden gondola of fish, just delicious. We stayed above on the West Cliff a couple of nights at La Rosa hotel (highly recommended).

[@TheBeano700]

So glad you enjoyed it. We love Whitby, it’s the kind of place you can go back to every year and keep finding new places . A weekend is enough as it’s not the largest place. The coastal walk to Robin Hoods Bay is fantastic xx

[@scouseofhorror104]

I love Robin Hood's Bay. Just magical 🤗

[@relayer27]

If you're heading north towards Newcastle then you should check out the Beamish museum . And after Newcastle there's the delights of the North East Coast with its amazing castles , beaches and wildlife

[@chchedda]

From seahouses up to bamburgh castle is stunning! Some of the best coastline I have seen. Excellent fish and chips, pubs in the area aswell.

[@hazelanderson1479]

Beamish Museum is hideously expensive. A friend of mine recently visited, and it was almost £60 for her and her children, and that didn’t extend to any of the attractions. BEWARE!

[@ellahayward4081]

yes go up from whitby and u will get to saltburn-by-the-sea, marske-by-the-sea, and redcar

[@cong1152]

@@hazelanderson1479 once you buy your ticket you can return all year

[@MiaMidol]

It is more than attraction, it is social history there to educate those that wish to learn. That is why schools bring their children and Beamish offer guides that roleplay with the chidren for a more in depth realistic experience e.g. victorian dentistry, earlier printing presses before women had the vote, how they used to make confectionary, old terraced properties with mangles for laundry etc, even outside bathroom facilities. These are but a few of the many things included in the price. I've witnessed children solving a crime with roleplay by one of the staff, children encouraged to participate on the experiences of school during 2nd world wartime gas masks included. It is definitely not a one day experience, you can take a tram to go around it or walk around it and take in the farmworkers ploughing the fields with horses amongst other things. It is a place to revisit as you always miss something when people pay £60 a month for satellite TV or more than £60 for two football matches, I believe Beamish is for each visitor, for a YEAR, competetively priced. It is not one day attraction.

[@Saintash1964]

Stayed in Whitby last weekend & we throughly enjoyed ourselves, NYMR Pullman Steam train Passage to India on the Friday, then a wonder around the town & shops all day Saturday popping in the many pub’s people watching, sea gulls attacking the unweary holding ice creams or burgers/ hotdogs 🤭 then finished the weekend with a sit down fish & chips in the Quayside, thanks for a lovely weekend 👍

[@familyontour7562]

Great to see you guys travelling the UK. The Yorkshire coast and North East coastline in places is beautiful. Try Whitby in late October for Goth weekend it's great. I go every year for my photography. You must visit Scarborough, Robin hood bay, Saltburn By the sea, Durham and Seaham. Then Newcastle city, Beamish open air museum try the free music concerts at south Shields. Then the Northumberland coastline.is awesome as well as many castles per square mile than anywhere else. Chillingham castle is said to be the most haunted in the world... Bambrugh is just stunning..safe travels.

[@charlottemartin4715]

As a Brit I can attest to the fact that chippys (fish and chip shops) are usually best when they’re on the coast or local to your street. The chippy in my town centre for example is overpriced and subpar, whereas the one down the street from me has lines a mile long, especially on Tuesdays 😆

[@denisestidolph1834]

Those fish and chips looked great. However…you missed a trick not going to the magpie which was just behind you. It’s (in alot of peoples opinions) the best place to get fish and chips in the country. Also if you ever get chance to visit Whitby again, try and tie it in with a goth weekend, it’s an amazing experience and everyone really embraces it! Bags of fun and loads to see! I’d also recommend popping up to Holy Island if your in the north again. It’s in Northumberland which is a beautiful part of England 😌

[@ychaps]

You guys are seeing more of England than I have seen and I was born there...thoroughly enjoying your experience vicariously.

[@thatleeburton]

I'm really enjoying your UK travel series, you have a great enthusiasm for everywhere that you go.

[@rainyh-jay2414]

Whitby Goth weekend is apparently good and unusual 😊. You need to have your fish and chips in the packet/paper they come wrapped in, sat on a bench while enjoying the view of the sea, just watch our for seagulls 😜

[@dinerouk]

Last time I was there 2011,I went for the Folk week where ameteur singers etc, ply their musical talent in the pubs, All Free!

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Small point, the "grouse" your friend pointed out were actually pheasant. Also, as other commentators pointed out, far more important than Bram Stocker's Dracula, is that Whitby is the home town of one of the most notable early global circumnavigators, Captain James Cook, who sailed around the world twice. He was the first European to land on Hawaii, where he died from wounds in 1779, during his third attempt at circumnavigation.

[@martinvegas1327]

No, he's from Marton in Middlesbrough!

[@frogandspanner]

The flag of Hawaii has the Union Flag as its canton.

He was a apprentice in Whitby there is a museum to him on Grape Lane.

[@trag6675]

Yeah like Martin said he’s from Middlesbrough 👍

Ah pheasant, wonderful to look at and they are extremely tasty. Probably the best poultry meat you'll ever have if you get them from a good sustainable butcher, or know a farmer like I do 😁

[@joniweaver7394]

Cara and Jeremy, what a cool video! You always seem to find something very interesting to share!❤ Bram Stoker's Dracula!😯...Wow! Thanks for another great video!😊

[@frogandspanner]

This has made me want to visit Whitby again. Dad took me and my brother there in 1964/65, and I still remember the delicious fish and chips. Scraps are a delight. When I was a kid in Leeds the local fish and chip shop sold a bag of chips with free scraps, and I preferred the fried batter fragments to the chips. But the best fish and chips I have ever tasted were made by my grandfather who, at one time, ran a chain of chippies. He taught me how to fillet and skin a haddock (no softy-southerner cod for Yorkshire folk), and how to triple-cook chips - decades before celebrity chefs caught onto the technique. And mushy peas must _always_ be marrowfat peas.

You must, must, must, visit Robin Hoods Bay, which is a stone's throw from Whitby! It's like a miniature version of Whitby, with the most stunning little harbour your ever likely to see!

Bram Stoker was not the only well known person from Whitby. An 18th century Yorkshireman, Captain James Cook, an early explorer and navigator lived and worked in Whitby before setting off on his voyages of discovery to the islands of the Pacific, Australia and New Zealand.

[@tonywilkinson6895]

I thought Bram Stoker was Irish though.

[@racelox]

He's not from there, neither was Stoker. Living there for a bit doesn't make someone 'from' somewhere. Arthur Brown is from there, for example.

Sorry Janet, Captain James Cook was born I'm Marton in Cleveland, now a suburb of Middlesbrough. Quite a few years ago he was voted the greatest Yorkshireman ever, not bad for a Boro lad. Oh, and Bram stoker was Irish.

Oh my gosh. My favourite destination when I used to go out on a motorbike. Last went to Whitby 10 years ago . Lovely stream, thanks. Those weren't grouse, they were pheasants in the field. Fish and chips on the sea front . Skin on fish isn't a thing in Northamptonshire either. 🇬🇧

[@04williamsl]

Whitby is amazing! We'd always spend 2-3 days in Whitby during the summer holidays. It's become a bit more expensive now so we just do day trips, but even just the drive south over the moors to Whitby is so beautiful, like you said (or maybe you went north over the moors, for me we go south). There's another place a bit further along called Staithes. It's nowhere near as touristy, but just as lovely. More of a beach day than a walk around place, I'd say. My mum's best friend moved there so as a kid we'd spend a week with them again in the summer holidays.

[@ianelstub4097]

The Magpie Cafe is the best (reputedly) for fish and chips. It is great but haven’t eaten fish and chips elsewhere in Whitby. Fantastic puddings at the Magpie too!

[@brianhiggins3090]

Magpie as just won the best fish and chips in the country 😋

[@barryedwards1336]

They used to be the best, but not for a long time now, living on a long past owners reputation, just a tourst attraction now, people will que for hours just to get in, the best fish shop in my opinion, is near to where you went, it's called Ziggys a small side street fish and chip shop, looks a little scruffy, but the real deal for fish and chips, they fry them in beef dripping, The best frying medium there is, and the way I did in my fish and chip shop before I retired.

[@susansmiles2242]

I don’t think The Magpie is as good as it used to be but there are plenty of good “chippys” in Whitby but you need to find one that cooks in beef dripping as this gives the best flavour

If you go back you must have tea at Bothams on Skinner Street, and pie at Humble Pie And Mash.

[@j3llyf0x]

Hey! I was born and grew up in Whitby, I still go back a few times a year to visit my family and honestly since moving away have realized how blessed I was to have grown up there. I love seeing people enjoying my little home town as it really is a treasure. If you want some visiting tips...during the summer season, town is always absolutely packed even in poorer weather. If you can deal with cold weather I would suggest paying a colder winter visit, its essentially a ghost town off season (although every year it seems to get busier) and the coast is as beautiful as it is in summer I think! You can also book trips out on the water to go whale/dolphin spotting which is incredible. If you can spend a few days there its also worth checking out Sandsend and Robin Hoods Bay, both of which you can walk to from Whitby if you make a day of it. Its a small town but theres so much to see and love about it 🥰

[@dazza9326]

Fun fact, when the Gurkha's arrive in the UK, they are taken to Whitbey as part of a cultual understanding of the UK. Gurkha's are recruited into the British Army from Nepal.....

I love a good fish and chips. There’s a difference between chips in the North West and North East too - often the North West uses veg oil and the North East uses dripping to fry in. Both are delicious. Finding a chippy that you like and (the main point) is consistently good is a real bonus. I have some favourites in places like Blackpool and hopefully you’ve done a video there which I can comment on.

Whitby is my favourite little seaside town! My dad lives pretty close, so I'd go every summer when I visited him. The Fisherman's Wife restaurant was always my favourite fish and chips, plus it has great views. I'd recommend two bakeries Botham's of Whitby and Sandgate, both do amazing cakes! 🙂

My home town, though I moved away 20 years ago now. The abbey was my workplace for about 14 years. Miss it very much, and still think of it as home

Captain Cook was born in the village of Marton near Middlesbrough. In his early life he moved to Whitby and was a trainee in a local shipping firm. He began his seafaring career in the North Sea coal trade. Where he lodged in Grape Lane in Whitby is now the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. The two ships ‘Resolution’ and ‘Endeavour’ were the sturdy Whitby built vessels that he used when charting the coasts of New Zealand, Australia and parts of the USA etc. on his long and dangerous voyages. He is regarded as a brilliant surveyor and explorer, his maps are extremely accurate when compared to modern maps.

Really pleased you enjoyed our beautiful little town. A few more local Facts. Whitby was where they set the date for easter which If I remember correctly is the first weekend following the first full moon after the spring equinox. The Whaling Family called Scoresby brought Polar Bears to Whitby and they swam in the harbour. Captain Cook sailed his many voyages from Whitby. You should also make time to visit Robin Hoods Bay And Staithes which are roughly ten miles either side of Whitby.
