Your Whitby is much more photogenic and historic than the Whitby in Ontario, just east of Toronto. I enjoyed your photos and the narrative was interesting and relevant.
I've been looking at shooting in Whitby Ontario recently, can't decide if it's worth the trip. Some lakefront spots do look interesting in the right weather.
@@SimonBurnCreative You might find Port Darlington a bit more photogenic if you like boats. Decades since I’ve been there. Used to be a marina and restaurant. Still, you might well find what you want in Whitby. Have fun!
I spent most of my summers in the UK back in the ‘80s and I have a special place in my heart for it. I’d love to see more videos like this one to help bring back my lovely memories.
I did enjoy doing something a little different. I am thinking about diversifying a little more on the channel. I will still stay photography based, but trying things like this gives variety and keeps things interesting.
Local history and fantastic images combined to make an excellent vlog Darrell. The photo at 10:06 is brilliant. It looks like you really enjoyed your photography! Well done indeed 📷🥇👍
This was a fascinating watch, packed with so much interesting information. It would not look out of place on the BBC. Really super top notch job Darrell.
Thanks Simon. You flatter me. I don’t think I would have attempted something like this back in the beginning. Presenting does get easier with practice - one day I might even get good at it.
We’d toured England in a Motorhome this year on holiday.From South Wales we started in Somerset, then Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Durham and eventually Northumberland. We visited Whitby and really liked the place, fantastic Fish n Chips in the town, you’re right about the town being busy, it was the busiest place we visited in the whole 2 weeks away. Unfortunately we missed most of the history, 3 kids under 8 saw to that, and, I took hardly any pics because I forgot to take my Manfrotto carbon fibre tripod to match my Fuji camera bodies, so I was even lighter in my kit than I expected to be ☹️ I’d already decided to leave my Canon wildlife kit behind, a tough decision I came to regret in Norfolk when a Muntjac Deer came out of a thicket and stared at me for 20 seconds, 56mm was the longest lens I took ( what a fool ). Still this video made up for part of what we missed, very interesting thanks 👍🏴👍
Thank you for the great video. I will be visiting Whitby from New Zealand in January 2025. How long would a photographer need to get around to all the photo spots. We are booked in for 2 nights but may need another perhaps!!! Great images
I filmed this video before breakfast. We are going next week for four nights. You could see the highlights of Whitb in a day, but the more to you have the more you will be able to take in the surrounding area.
Hi Darrell, hope your all doin ok, I've been watching your videos since we spoke in town.. me+my partner love your vids(especially the bloopers😂..never realised how funny you were😉) anyway we have been to Westport lake today and its really good for wildlife, was just wondering if you have thought about visiting there for a video? Love to all , keep up the great work❤
I would certainly think about Westport lake for a visit. It s only about half an hour a2ay from me. Glad you enjoy the video. I am not sure about being funny, but I don’t take myself too seriously and am happy to laugh at myself.
Looks a lovely place Darrell, I have never been there. The abbey looks very interesting and I love the facts and info. Not sure Whitby should be celebrating the whaling industry though :-(
3:05 you can take pictures of the town through the square hole that look interesting
A lovely video. I spent just an hour in Whitby many years ago but I want to go back and spend longer there after watching this. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. We keep going back and never tire of it.
I always look forward to your videos Darrell! Your enthusiasm is infectious! I also love Whitby! Wonderful place. Visited it many times.

We go at least once a year. We love it in Whitby.

Really glad you enjoyed it. We love Whitby and it was really interesting to research and make this video.
Really nice detour from the birds, enjoyed the visit as I live in the states.
Glad you enjoyed it. English fishing villages have a charm and Whitby is one of our most attractive.
Thank you for this tour. Very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video a place I've always wanted to visit. Very interesting and well done for capturing the sites with a lack of people.
Had to get up at 5.30 and started filming just after six. I left the wife in bed and was back for breakfast.
Great informative video about Whitby. Nice to see the results of your early morning at Saltwick Bay.
I have a video coming in the next few weeks from Saltwick Bay.
@@DarrellOakdenPhotography I will look out for it.
Great Vlog Darrell really enjoyed this one and some top images to match good job hope you enjoyed your break away..
Thanks Paul. I did enjoy our break.Whitby is one of our favourite places.
Beautiful
We love Whitby. We are booked to go again in August.
Ha Ha great video and great to see the bloopers at the end just proves your human after all ;)

Brilliant!-you could get a job as a tour guide.
Thanks. You didn’t see the script in my back pocket.
