  • WHITBY at Christmas time is magical. The Christmas shopping in the town is fantastic and the whole of Whitby is lit up with Christmas lights and this North Yorkshire seaside town comes alive.
    In this video we will walk from the beach through the town to Whitby Abbey steps and answer the question what is Whitby like in winter.
    We being this walking tour on Whitby pier overlooking the beach and walk along past the Magpie Fish and chips restaurant, the amusement arcades and the food and drink shops and bars to the harbour.
    Here we head into Whitby Town Centre where the shops are lit up bright before coming round and crossing the swing bridge that opens up to let boats through, before passing the dolphin pub and heading into the old town to wander the narrow cobbled streets to have a look at the shops.
    Nothing beats a trip to Whitby for a day by the seaside but Whitby in winter is just magical!
    Let's explore!

      I'm an American too, but, have always felt safe in England - even the East End of London. Whitby is a beautiful town. I had the privilege of visiting in May 2023. The only problem with Yorkshire is that it is so beautiful and interesting that you don't know where to start. I will be going back next year to see more of Yorkshire.

    This was my favorite Christmas video so far, maybe because its Whitby, a place I've longed to visit, its so old world, I love older shop fronts with displays anytime of year, but Christmas really adds to it, I love the cobbled streets the amount of chippys and just the general atmosphere in this video, it makes me want to visit Whitby in the off season. Thanks Neil I loved the lighting and new camera. Loved it.
    Next up for me is Bakewell, a place I've been to many times when over the years, I know it will be lovely.

    Your camera is very professional Neil. Sorry you got bit twice. I got stung twice on my visit to Nunnington Hall. The wasps had nested in the scarecrow. We visited a couple of years ago and decided next time we would stay lower down. It was a bit of a hike going up and down from west cliff. It’s great with what they’ve done with Alberts and the food was good. You can’t beat the Magpie Cafe though for fish and veggie cottage pie. Big portions!
