I have been lucky to have had my parents grow up in Whitby, leading to fantastic family holidays and weekend breaks to the charming seaside town. Many of my childhood memories of Whitby consist of fishing, crabbing and fossiling. Whitby has recently become very well known due to national press exposure and been rates the best UK day break in 2008.
Well placed in stunning scenery within the North York Moors National Park, Whitby has become a popular tourist town that combines traditional values with contemporary style. A wave of fancy bars, restaurants and fancy cafes sit on cobbled streets, wedged in between traditional chippies and historic jet makers. You can still see the fish being brought in from the boats if your an early riser. Having scrutinized the town revolutionize over the years, Whitby now has something for everyone
Whitby has a deep and rich history, stories of ghosts and ghouls, Dracula, hidden riches, Whitby jet, Captain Cook, and the list goes on. A quick walk around the town and you will get an insight into the towns history. One of the most well known visitors of Whitby is recent times was Bram Stoker, who went on to write his global best seller Dracula, taking from Whitby Abbey and the surrounding area. Today there are many celebrations to enjoy in Whitby, some of these include The Whitby Regatta and the famous Whitby Goth Weekends, with happen twice a year.
Tourisim is booming today in Whitby, recently converted by national TV and Press, and voted the best UK day break in 2008, the town continues to develop its contribution for the growing visitor numbers. I would profoundly recommend you dig a little deeper into what Whitby has to offer.
Whitby has no end of types of accommodations available for your stay in Whitby. Depending on your needs, there are a wide diversity of Bed and Breakfasts, Guest Houses, Hotels, Cottages and Self Catering options available. Some of my favorites are published below:
The Hudsons Bed and Breakfast in Whitby

Hudsons is ideally situated with Whitby's beaches, shops, bars and restaurants all a mere two minute walk away. As one of the central bed and breakfasts in Whitby, Hudsons is the ideal choice for exploring both the coast and country surrounding Whitby.

Ideally situated on the popular West Cliff in Whitby, close to all amenities; the Spa Theatre; the Royal Gardens; Children`s paddling pool; Crazy Golf; Tennis; Pitch and Putt; Boating Lake; Beaches; Town Shops and the 18 hole Links Golf Course. The Queensland is clean and friendly and one of my favorite places to stay in Whitby.
The online Whitby Guide has a huge directory of Whitby Accommodation to ensure you find the perfect place for your stay in Whitby. Ive seen many websites on the internet that give a good overview of whats happening in Whitby and the best places to visit, and the Whitby Guide seems to be very good.
If you struggling for ideas regarding where to take the family this summer, why not consider Whitby. I for one will be making several trips this year, sampling the great seafood and sea air. I even hope to see a vampire there one day or even bump into Dracula himself.
