About Whitby, North Yorkshire

Whitby perches dramatically where the River Esk meets the North Sea, its abbey ruins crowning the clifftops above a working fishing harbour. The A171 from Guisborough and A169 from York via the North York Moors provide the main approaches, whilst the coastal A174 links to Scarborough.
