THINGS TO DO IN WHITBY OVER HALF TERM August SCHOOL HOLIDAYS (OR ANY SCHOOL HOLIDAYS)

Whitby is in North Yorkshire.

There is always plenty to do in Whitby, both indoors and outdoors.

I have focussed on outdoor activities.

Beach – simply sitting in a deck chair in the sunshine and watching the world go bye.  The lift is not working this summer, so the bus picks up from the lift entrance on the West Cliff down to the beach,  It is open from 10am-4pm.  Deckchairs can be hired from Whitby surf club.  £3 a day.

 

 

 

 

 

Body boarding or surfing

Other ideas whether you are staying 1, 2 or 3 nights at our B&B in Whitby.

Pannet Park – just 2 mins from our B&B – we love it here and have happily spent a few hours on a dry day.  The squirrels get friendlier every day.  The play equipment  is excellent from 1-12 years old.

Crabbing – best place is down by the old swing bridge.

Beach – goes without saying. Building a sandcastle or just playing in the waves (definitely need a wetsuit at this time of the year) is amazing.

Walk to Sandsend – 3 miles there and 3 miles back – definitely one for older children but once there, remember to take some bread (or peas) for the ducks.

Whitby Abbey – normally best to pre-book tickets – check their website out for ghost tickets and availability.

Museums – lovely choice of Pannet Park Museuem, or Captains Cook Museum on Grape lane.

Small outdoor paddling pool – just 5 mins from our B&B

 

 

 

 

 

If you fancy a drive out of Whitby

Falling Foss  is just a couple of miles down the road from Ruswarp.  It is a while since we have been there and again we were really impressed.  It has a few new small outdoor play area for the smaller kids.  There are a lot more covers over the tables (it is all outside).  They also have a new coffee machine so I had a lovely latte plus a scone with jam and cream.  We all played for a few hours in the river just outside the café and just stood and watched the waterfall and did a little walk.
