    Beautiful little harbour town. Whilst there we enjoyed a good pint of best bitter and a helping of really good fish and chips. We loved our time there. Thanks for the memory.

    I am an american that lived in the uk for 7yrs. This was one of my favorite places to go. I loved it there. Back in the USA now and I hate it! No better place on earth, in my opinion, to be then the UK. xxx

      Many thanks for the kind comment,yes i think you are quite right about the UK it does have that appeal to lots of people,especially if you live at the coast as i do.As a matter of fact i live just 20 miles south of Whitby,a place called Scarborough,you should visit my channel and take a look.....John xxx

      Yes I have been there a couple times in Scarborough. Been to robin-hood bay a few times as well. Right now as I speak I have several pics I took in Whitby and printed in several sizes and framed hanging in my stairwell to remind me of better times and hopes of returning there sooner then later. xxx

    Thanks John for a lovely video tour of Whitby, I lived in Scarborough about 20 years ago and loved it, I think Whitby is enchanting and has the history around ghosts, ghouls etc and has a certain mysterious quality to it. Although I now live in the north East, I still yearn for Yorkshire, so I will be back in Whitby very soon.

    Well,I'm 50 & this has brought a little tear to my eye,hahaha! I would go to Whitby every other year for my summer hols,alternating with Scarborough! We always had the best times at Whitby,being more graceful & charming as opposed to the bigger,gaudier Scarborough! If I ever won big-time on the Lottery I would head to Whitby like a shot! Mind you,getting up to the Abbey would be more of a task now,what with creaking bones & smoker's lung,lol! But it'd be worth it just to see my days out!

    Whitby is another place I have never visited, and yet I have heard it's supposed to be very nice, it certainly appears a nice looking place, reminds me of Brixham a little.
    I like these small old town kind of places, with the little pubs and shops, streets and all things associated with the sea side. Love hearing the sea gulls as well... aahhh !!
    Wa hey... Sprinter spotted at 6:52 shame that wasn't my van parked there...
    Well John -well done I've never been until now... :-)
    I liked it

    @sheilamaclean968 11 років тому +2

    Dunno when this video was taken but during summer you can't see the pavement for visitors - but still a great atmosphere and miles of interesting walks, nooks and crannies to spread out in! I moved here from London via Darlington and can't think of any place I'd ever want to live. It's just beautiful.

    What a great little video. I've been wanting to visit Whitby for some years now, but havnt got round to it. Im a photographer myself and it looks such an atmospherical place. I live in South Wales but I've got relations living in Catterick so I really must make the effort. Right. Time for part 2. Well Done and thanks.

I haven't been to Whitby for a number of years as I now live much further south than my hometown of Middlesbrough,but if I did happen to win big-time on the Lottery I'd have to buy something in/close to Whitby to see out my days by the bracing,(cough,cough),north Yorks coast! And Scarborough had it's appeal too,just that Whitby was more 'genteel'. J.P.

      The steam bus "Elizabeth" used to take you on a short circular journey around Whitby. The best bit was dropping downhill towards Bagdale hall, where a firestorm of flames jumped up through the cab, literally inches from the driver, and then exited through the roof. Unfortunately the steam bus ended operation in Whitby in late 2014, after so-called disputes between its operators and Scarborough council. I believe the steam bus has since been sold and has moved to Weston-super Mare under its new management.
      There is a vintage Charabanc car-bus called "Charlotte" in similar livery which - I believe - remains in operation at Whitby, at least it did last year, unless anyone can correct me.
