Award Winning Cottages and Bed & Breakfast in a quiet unspoilt valley in the North York Moors National Park just eight miles from the coast and Whitby.

Red House Farm is located in Glaisdale Dale just 400m from the village of Glaisdale and consists of a group of buildings dating from the Mid 17th century. We no longer operate as a farm but do run a smallholding and have Longhorn cows, hens, ducks and have the occasional pony running around but no tractors or modern farm buildings.

There is excellent walking from the doorstep, a bridleway which is featured in several books runs through our property and Wainwright’s coast-to-coast footpath runs within a ¼ mile of the farm. The Heritage Coast walk is just a short drive away.

There is a pond on the property which is deep (but fenced and gated) so toddlers beware! Older children (and Dad’s) seem to enjoy catching the rudd – we have yet to see anyone catch the carp or tench.

We also have stabling for up to four horses (depending on the time of year) in addition to three/four ponies and with easy access to the moor, the bringing of ponies is becoming quite popular.

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway hosted the biggest and best attended ‘Railway at War event’ yet, following the 3 day event which took place last Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The event, now in its 17th year, attracted an estimated 15,000 visitors to the North York Moors area, with more than 8,000 travelling by steam train between Pickering, Levisham, Goathland, Grosmont and Whitby.  Visitors came from all across the UK, with interest also being shown this year from Norway, Holland and Germany.

For the weekend the clocks are turned back to 1943 and the Home Front, to give a poignant reminder of what life was like during those dark days, including for thousands of railwaymen and women.   Hundreds of visitors can be seen in civilian and military clothing from the period and at Pickering, a large parade through the town brings the event into sharper focus.

Re-enactment groups with their vehicles and equipment help to bring to life a number of scenarios along the Railway, including fire-fighting during the blitz, dealing with an air raid, and keeping the Home Guard on their toes.  ENSA entertainers help to boost morale whilst wreath-laying ceremonies at Pickering and Grosmont help to underpin a serious message.

NYMR General Manager, Philip Benham, said:  “This has to be one of the best events of the year for local tourism.   It is about nostalgia, and we can all be proud of the crowds, the spectacle, the atmosphere and general goodwill.  The growing interest year on year in this weekend is amazing. This year was particularly special as we remember the outbreak of war 70 years ago.    There is a serious message throughout the event, and we are particularly keen to remember the sacrifices made by the many thousands of railwaymen and women who served on the Home Front.  But people also come for an experience, and to have fun – we can certainly deliver that.  The historic railway, period stations and timeless countryside all play their part.  I would also like to pay tribute to our volunteers and staff without whose hard work over many weeks in planning and preparation, the event would not be possible.”

The event also helps to swell the coffers of not just the Railway, but also many local traders and businesses.  The Railway enjoyed record takings at the booking office in Pickering and an overall increase in income across the Railway compared to pervious years.

As Philip Benham says, “Everyone benefits – the Railway, the shops, accommodation providers, local charities and other attractions.  It is good for the whole region.  But we need to keep a careful eye on managing that growth.   The demand for this event is such that we are contemplating making this a 4 day in the future, But for this to happen, we really do need to have talks with the wider community, whose help would be essential, and of course with our own loyal army of volunteers and staff who already give so much.”

The last passenger train to travel over Bridge 30, between Goathland and Grosmont in North Yorkshire, is expected to go with a bang.

Fireworks and several other surprises will help to mark the final send-off, planned for the early evening of Sunday 1st November.

The occasion will mark the end of a 145 year piece of history, as bridge 30, which forms an 80ft span and takes the line over the Murk Esk, between Goathland and Grosmont, is set to be removed. It will be replaced with a new structure over the winter months.   The cost of doing so is estimated at £650,000, with the line being severed while the work takes place.

There is an opportunity for visitors to mark the final journey over Bridge 30, before it is replaced, by travelling on a special Bridge Benefit last train on Sunday 1st November. The train will depart from Grosmont at 1530hrs for Pickering, returning from Pickering at 1700hrs, and will be hauled by the iconic streamline steam engine “Sir Nigel Gresley”. A £3 supplement for the round trip will be payable on top of the normal fares, with proceeds to the ‘Bridge & Wheels’ Appeal.  (Passengers returning from Grosmont to Pickering only will not be charged the supplement).

For those looking to enjoy the experience in more opulent surroundings, a limited number of pre-bookable First Class seats are available for the round trip, offering tea, sandwiches and cakes in one of the more historic saloon carriages.  A £10 supplement is payable in advance.  Reservations can be made by phoning 01751 472508 or by email to info@nymr.co.uk following which a commemorative ticket will be issued.

NYMR General Manager, Philip Benham, said “What we’re looking to do is to recreate the atmosphere of the “last trains” that were so common in the Beeching era – the difference this time, of course, is that the line will re-open again in March next year!  We’re ushering out a bridge that has served the Railway well, in readiness for a new structure of some significance to replace it.”

There may be some noise and bangs as the train passes over the bridge, and those who might be disturbed with very young children, or with dogs, will be advised to travel towards the rear of the train from Pickering.

A full service of steam hauled trains will operate throughout the weekend Sat 31 Oct and Sun 1 Nov, while the railway’s diesel railcar will be operating shuttle services between Grosmont and Goathland giving passengers a final chance to view the old bridge through the train’s panoramic windows.

The weekend will also be a last chance to travel behind ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ in the 50th anniversary year since the engine became the fastest steam engine since the Second World War with a speed of 112mph on 23 May 1959.

Also during the weekend, the Railway is offering additional entertainment along the line, combining steam train rides with family entertainment, in what is dubbed the Wizard Weekend.

Birds of Prey will be on show at Levisham Station over the weekend with static displays on 31 Oct and demonstrations from 12.30pm on 1st November.  A Punch and Judy show will also be performed on the Saturday.

At Goathland, a 30 minute magic show will be performed at regular intervals over the weekend.

Balloon modelling, face painting, magic tricks will be a feature at Levisham, Goathland and Grosmont stations over the weekend.

The Jet Set Border Morris dancers, dressed Goth-style, all in black, will be performing at regular intervals at Goathland and Grosmont stations, using the train to travel between the two stations.

Passengers may also like to visit Whitby, where the town’s annual Goth Weekend is taking place, but are asked to note that the last train back from Whitby on Sunday 1 November will run earlier than usual at 16.00hrs.

For further details about the train running during this weekend, go to www.nymr.co.uk or alternatively call 01751 472508

This month the North Yorkshire Moors Railway will be hosting one of the biggest 1940s re-enactment events of the year – “Railway at “war” – which runs from Friday 16th to Sunday 18th October.

The highlight of the weekend is the Saturday parade through Pickering, with marching bands, military and civilian vehicles, which attracts bumper crowds.

Hundreds of re-enactors will take part in displays and demonstrations along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, between Pickering, Levisham, Goathland and Grosmont.    The event has become so big, that accommodation providers within a 50 miles radius tend to get booked up months in advance.

Heritage steam trains will be running hourly to take the thousands of visitors along the line, including the 1937 engine, “Sir Nigel Gresley” – which is one of only six A4 Pacific class engines remaining in the world.    Trains will run between Pickering and Grosmont on the Friday, and between Pickering and Whitby on both Saturday and Sunday.

The event, now in its 17th year, is a re-creation of the Home Front in 1943 and commemorates the part played by Britain’s railways during the 1939-45 war.  It has grown to such an extent that visitors are now expected from as far afield as Norway, Denmark and Holland.

Phil Bustard, Marketing Manager of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, said “There is no doubt that this is one of the most popular events of the year for the both the Railway and the wider community.   A lot of work goes into the event and we have every reason to expect a bumper crowd this year, given the increased volume of visitors through 2009, and the level of enquiries we have received.”

To help alleviate car parking difficulties, the Railway will be providing its own Park and Ride facility along Haygate Lane in Pickering.   The site, which can accommodate up to 1,000 vehicles, is accessible from the A169 Malton Road, just to the south of the town.    Parking will cost £3 per vehicle, with frequent mini-buses taking visitors into town.    The Railway has teamed up with a local landowner to provide the facility, and has acquired permission from the local authorities to operate the Park and Ride as a temporary arrangement for the duration of the event.   A one-way traffic system will operate from the A169, and temporary signs will be erected to help the flow of vehicles.  Minibuses will operate over the whole of the event, and will connect with the first and last train services each day of the event.

View Farm Cottage, Nr Whitby in a larger map

‘Crabbing’ in Whitby Harbour has been the pastime of youngsters in the town for a million generations. Next to Whitby Bridge is a designated harbour fishing area where 99% of those ‘fishing’ are trying to catch crabs on simple hand-held lines. Called ‘doggering’ (1) by locals, this simple activity comprises of a single fishing line, small weight to sink the bait, a juicy piece of bait (bacon rind, tinned mackerel in oil or, highly recommended – a fish head), no hook needed,  and for mums and dads a more than your average amount of patience ……….. but the babes will love it !  Insider tip 1 : the kids will want to check their crabbing line every 60 seconds ….. leave the line for 5 minutes, which should give time for the crabs to come out, sniff around and then decide on whether to dine on your offerings or scuttle back under the seaweed……. Insider tip 2 : despite what others say, don’t be in a hurry to bring up your fishing line …..slowly and gently is the key …. Harbour crabs are very quick to sense excessive or unusual  movement and will go into defensive mode and let go of the bait if alarmed

Care of the harbour crabs :

Harbour crabs are only small and are not edible. ‘Fishing’ for them provides endless enjoyment for youngsters who are keen to ‘catch..’ Treat these crabs carefully and gently. If you wish to keep any ‘captives’ in a bucket for an hour or more, please put some seaweed in as well because our little friends live at the darkened bottom of the harbour and are not comfortable with sunlight. When your ‘fishing’ is over, please return the harbour crabs to their home, gently and carefully.

 (1) ‘doggering’ :   pronounced   ‘ dog…errr …ing ‘  -   The Whitby term for red harbour crabs is ‘doggers’

Shore and rock fishing

You can fish from Whitby to Sandsend and Whitby to Saltwick.  Fish available, depending upon the time of year, include codling, billet, mackerel and whiting

There is no fee payable or licence requirement for shore and rock fishing.

Beach fishing

You can fish from the beach between Whitby and Sandsend and between Whitby and Saltwick. Fish available, depending upon the time of year, include codling, billet, flatfish, mackerel and whiting.

Bait : Commonly used is mussel and/or lugworm. These are usually available from the tackle suppliers in the town. ‘’Peeler’ crab  is locally regarded as THE bait during the summer months but it is not available through shops. You will need to ask the locals ‘what ?’ and ‘where’ ? to seek this bait out ……. but be assured, it is well worth the time and effort ……..

Boat Fishing :
 
Boat fishing is very popular in Whitby. These trips can be for 2, 4, 6 or 8 hrs. A boat angling trip can be arranged on a daily basis at the quayside. Talk to the ‘professionals’ on the quayside before you book. Fishing tackle and bait can be supplied but check when you make a booking. The charter boats normally take up to 8 or 12 anglers.

Whitby Harbour

Fishing : Whitby Piers : 

Whitby’s West Pier is a delight for any summer angler, with spinners and lures seemingly favourites amongst those ‘in the know.’  The ‘ground’ tends to be sandy and almost hazard-free, though some weed and small rocks. Mackerel, in particular, and flounder are the regulars. Important : check the tide situation – it is more likely that you will be ‘rewarded’, fish wise, near and at high water. However, don’t be put off fishing at any time – there is always the fish ‘maverick’ swimming around !  Autumn angler ?  Come September the smaller cod will move in as will whiting, favouring peeler crab and the occasional mussel. Winter angler ? Definitely peeler crab, rag worm and lugworm but wrap up warm – it can be cold, cold and freezing (!) on the Pier at that time of the year !! However, many examples of large cod (15lb upwards) have been noted over a number of years)   Please note : Anglers are prohibited from fishing into the harbour from the West Pier.

Whitby’s East Pier has been problematic in terms of access for the last year or two. This issue is still under discussion with Scarborough Borough Council. As with the West Pier, anglers are prohibited from fishing into the harbour. The ‘ground’ is rocky and can be ‘tackle-damaging.’ Summer and Autumn fishing can yield codling and mackerel but not in the numbers off the West Pier. However, the East Pier is, more often than not, people free and consequently is a very restful place to spend a few hours contemplating the world and reflecting on the frantic nature of it all

Safety :

Whitby’s West Pier comprises of two levels, the lower level being accessible by a ladder at the end of the Pier. It is strongly recommended that you do not attempt to access the lower level during times of inclement weather. The sea is a joyous product of Mother Nature but it is capable of taking no prisoners should it be in the mood. Please check the weather forecast and tide table before you embark on a fishing session on the West Pier. There is no access at the current time to the lower level of the East Pier.

If you need any advice or fishing tackle while on your trip to Whitby then take a visit to Whitby Angling Supplies, who will be more than happy to assist you.

Some of the information below has been donated by our friends at Whitby Fossils

Even away from the hectic town centre there are several activities which you can enjoy. One of my favourites is searching for fossils. Whitby yields many ammonites, reptiles and shells, also famous for Jet which is similar to Amber. There are several places along the Whitby coast where you can find fossils. Place be careful with young children, as the rock face’s around the coast can become unstable and attention should be paid at all times. Make sure you always go onto the beach at low tide and allow for plently of time to get back to the beach should your venture around the cliff face.

Whitby yields excellent ammonite specimens and dinosaur/reptile remains. The best time to collect is during the winter storms, or scouring conditions.

Access is made via Whitby East Habour. You will need to wait until you can get round as the tide comes very high and must ensure you can return in good time.

Most of the fossils can be found on the foreshore at Whitby, especially after storms or scouring conditions within nodules or loose within the areas of shingle and shale, but fossils are also commonly found in the cliff on the scree slopes either in nodules or loose.

*Very important*

Common sense when collecting at all locations should be taken and knowledge of tide times should always be noted. It is very easy to get cut off at Whitby, the sea always hits the cliff. You should ensure you return before the tide turns. Also be aware of sticky areas at Whitby, on the slippages as it is easy to get stuck especially after rain.

You can also find fossils close by at Port Mulgrave, Kettleness, Runswick Bay, Saltwick Bay, Staithes and Sandsend.

The Whitby Regatta has been running for nearly 170 years making it one of the oldest sea regattas in England. The Whitby Regatta is a celebration of all things aquatic with a host of yachting and rowing competitions over three days of exciting, fun packed days.

Over the course of the three days alongside the nautical competitions, there will be carnival fun, an Air Sea Rescue, a World War 2 Air Display featuring Spitfires, Hurricanes and a Dakota, the Red Arrows Display Team will perform, a 4km Fun Run, displays from each of the Armed Forces, a Classic Car Rally, a motorcycle gymkhana on the beach, the centenary of the Swing Bridge will be celebrated and the weekend will culminate with a spectacular firework display on Monday evening.

Running parallel to Whitby Regatta is the Whitby Folk Week. A seven day festival of the best traditional folk the UK has to offer, performed by some of the most talented musicians from around the country.

For more than forty years the Whitby Folk Week has brought song, dance and music to the North Yorkshire town. Now in its 44th year the festival has grown significantly from its early roots as a traditional dance-based festival. Featuring around 600 events throughout the week there will be plenty to see and do.

Folk is inspired by everything from the everyday to the mythological, nursery rhymes to work songs, poetry to verse. This variety is part of the heritage and tradition of folk, and what makes folk so diverse and vibrant, which is why you’ll see a wealth of improvised shows spring up around the town throughout the week.

With so many fantastic cultural and exciting activities and opportunities it will be hard to fit it all in to what is sure to be an action packed seven days. For more information on Whitby follow these links:

Below is an extract from the Eden Camp website:

“A visit to our unique Museum at EDEN CAMP will transport you back in time to wartime Britain. You will experience the sights, sounds, even the smells of those dangerous years.

This is no ordinary Museum – Not another Military Museum – Not a glass showcase Museum – We have reconstructed scenes using movement, lighting, sound, smells, even smoke machines to transport you back in time, to make you feel that you are there taking part in history.

Our special award winning Museum is an original Prisoner of War Camp built in 1942. Our fascinating displays hold, and reveal to you, the vital spirit which eventually triumphed in 1945. These superb and lifelike exhibits make a visit to EDEN CAMP a wonderful and educational day out for all the family.”

Having been a visitor on many occassions and can highly recommend the musuem, the kids will love the experience and parents will certainly learn something new.

Visit Monks Haven Café and sit in one of the oldest buildings in Whitby, dating in parts back to the 12th Century. Over the centuries this site has played an important role in the community. Originally there was a chapel of ease here before the dissolution of the monastery. Ever since, it’s location on the market square has made it a valuable commercial property at the heart of the Whitby community.

There are many rumours around Church Street and in particular Monks Haven. Some are true and some are false.

• It’s true that there are smugglers caves under the street and that nobody alive knows where they are and where they go.
• It’s also true that there have been many sightings of a ghost we call “George” – he appears outside in the market and walks into the café. He’s been spotted in the back of the kitchen late at night by the fryers… Our cooks think he cannot cross over until he’s had his chips!
• It’s false that Mary Queen of Scots stayed here (well at least there are no records proving it).
• It’s also untrue that Dracula enjoyed a bloodiccino on table 5.

At Monks Haven we are always ready with a smile to welcome you to our special little part of the world. It’s a place you’ll be sure to return too. If not for the “best coffee in Whitby” it will be because everything seems a little better when looking out of our bay windows on Church Street.

Whitby Golf Course is a fantastic holiday golf course with fantastic views of N Yorks Coast, run by PGA Professional offering expert tuition. The course is rarely too busy to be able to book a tee time.

There are wonderful views along the coast, north-westward over the picturesque bay of Sandsend to Kettleness, south-eastward over the harbour with the Abbey Ruins set in relief and inland over the rolling panorama of the North Yorks Moors.

It is the ideal type of holiday course, not too long or difficult for the moderate player provided a reasonable degree of accuracy is achieved.

“Wild hitters” can be severely punished, as some of the hazards are quite unusual. The most striking is the wild cleft in the Cliffs known as “Upgang Ravine” which has to be driven when playing the 6th and 18th holes

The degree of driving difficulty on many an occasion is decided by the prevailing wind which may come from either the North Sea or the moors.

Below is a poem regarding our course:

Ode to Whitby Golf Club

On rugged cliff-tops facing north
Across the deep blue sea
Is Straggleton, a holy place
For golfers such as me

The rolling hills, Upgang Ravine
The White House Pub, Hotel
The ozone from the crashing waves
Cut grass, that heady smell

Through summer sun and winter snow
Through hailstones, rain and gales
Us golfers hit our dimpled balls
‘cross fairways hills and dales

And when our game is over
We’ll sit and have a beer
In the comfort of the nineteenth hole
With friendliness and cheer

We’ll talk of pars and birdies
And where we didn’t score
But one thing’s always certain
We’ll aye come back for more

Dave Kirk  July 2009

The Whitby Regatta 2009 August 22nd,23th 24th, presents to you, three full days of entertainment, embracing yacht racing, rowing races and various free forms of entertainment as published in the official programme, finishing with a prize presentation and spectacular firework display. One hundred and sixty nine years of aquatic competition and entertainment.

The Whitby Regatta is probably the oldest sea Regatta in England and has drawn large crowds into Whitby over the years. It started in a very small way with the fishermen competing against each other in their fishing smacks and salmon cobbles. Then came the yachts. It was recorded in 1847 “The Whitby Challenge Cup”, promoted by the Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club, was won by the Schooner “Whiled”, and a prize of 50 guineas was presented to the captain or owner. Between that date and up to the nineteen thirties, yacht racing formed the greater part of the Regatta.

Unfortunately, due to the high cost of building these large yachts of approximately 20 tons, and a changing world, they slowly disappeared from the scene. The cost of maintaining such a yacht today must be astronomical. It was about 1872 that competitive rowing came into being. In that year, the Jet Works Amateur Rowing Club was formed, 1874 saw the birth of Scarborough Amateur Rowing Club and in 1879 the Friendship Amateur Rowing Club. Then came the Whitby Amateur Rowing Club in 1912, which later became the present day Whitby Fisherman’s Amateur Rowing Club. All three Clubs are still going strong today, forming one of the main attractions of today’s Regatta. 

Over the years, rowing clubs from the Tyne to Scarborough have participated in Regattas held on the North East Coast, sadly only two Regattas are still being held, Scarborough and Whitby.

In 1901 the late Alderman JET Wilson J.P – C.C. of West Hartlepool presented the “Wilson Cup”. valued at £25, for competition to Rowing Clubs based between the Tyne and Humber. This is the most coveted trophy rowed for today.  1929 saw the first fancy dress and decorated carts, this was the forerunner of the present day regatta and carnival. It is recorded that in 1900, 11,000 people travelled by special trains from the West Riding, York, Bridlington and Newcastle. Today that figure is estimated at 20,000, most travelling by coach and private car.

Rob and Emma Green feel that their Green’s of Whitby restaurant & bistro, situated on the Abbey side of the swing bridge, is perfectly placed to source and promote the very best of foods from the surrounding area.

As Whitby is situated on one of Britain’s finest coastlines and has been a port for more than a thousand years – and still remains a busy fishing harbour – Rob is able to choose seafood fresh from the quayside every morning. Prime local meats and game are also a speciality. The abundance of fresh produce means that the menu changes frequently to offer you “the best of the day” – this has helped to take Green’s’ status to not only one of the finest restaurants in Whitby, but one of the finest restaurants in North Yorkshire.

Everything is freshly prepared, from the home baked bread, delicious desserts and ice creams, to the chocolate treats served with coffee…and just about everything else in between!

You can visit Whitby restaurant after Whitby restaurant, you’ll still come back to Green’s – one of the finest places for dining out in Whitby!

Green’s are proud to annouce that they have recently recieved the Yorkshire Moors & Coast Tourism Award for the Restaurant of the Year Special Occasion. Winners 2008.

There are many restaurants in Whitby, ranging from low budget, right up to expensive seafood specials, so here you go, these are my top 5 Whitby restaurants.

Greens Of Whitby, Seafood Restaurant

I had my first experience of this little gem last month, and was very impressed. Greens has was won many awards for the fine seafood they serve up, and i was not disappointed with my evening there either. A unique decor inside the restaurant lends for a relaxed atmosphere. There is an extensive menu for both food and wine, and the service does not disappoint.

Well located over the bridge on the east side of town, Greens is quickly becoming one of Whitby’s finest restaurants, and its not just seafood they serve, prime local meats and game are also a speciality, with the menu having a selection of steaks and vegetarian dishes to choose from.

Greens have recently received the Yorkshire Moors & Coast Tourism Award for the Restaurant of the Year 2008

The Magpie Cafe

Whitby’s most famous restaurant/cafe. The Magpie has been featured many times in local and national press, the Magpie has also been featured in various food TV programs over the past years. There is something about the Magpie Cafe which brings visitors flocking by the thousands each year to queue up along Whitby’s streets just to get through the door, and its for one reason only…the fish and chips. The Cafe is famous for its fine tasting fish and chips, idealy suituated directly opposite the towns fish market allows for the freshest fish been brought in straight from the boats each day, and straight onto your plate.

The Magpie Cafe has a long association with fishing and the shipping industry. It was built in 1750 as a Merchants House and during its history was owned by a member of the Scoresby whaling family and was for a time the pilotage where the pilots would wait for orders to bring vessels into the harbour.

Magpie Cafe is in a prime position for you to enjoy the fabulous views at the same time as sampling the wide selection of meals. Specialities include dishes that use prime fresh local fish, seafood and specially selected ingredients.

The Moon and Sixpence, Bar and Restaurant

If your looing for a stylish, friendly and relaxed venue to meet for drinks or a meal either during the day or on an evening, then the Moon and Sixpence is the perfect choice. Having arguably some of the best views in Whitby, sitting in the huge windows you have a great view of the harbour and of the cliffs with the 199 steps winding up towards St Mary’s church.

The Moon and Sixpence is a great example of the mix of tradition and contemporary style that Whitby now offers. Located on the harbour front, amoungst rock and gift shops, this little gem is as cool as they get. Try some oysters and wash them down with some elegant champagnes, the Moon and Sixpence is a fine example of a modern bar/bistro. The food is not bad either, but be warned it can get busy and finding a table to eat at will be difficult, i recommend an late evening visit for a nite cap, sit outside and watch the world pass you by.

The Cross Butts Stable Restaurant, Whitby

Another well respected restaurant is the Cross Butts, just outside of Whitby. Set in tranquil surroundings, the restaurant offers great food, with prompt service and elegant decor. Situated in renovated stables, away from the hustle of the town center, the Cross Butts is the ideal choice for a romantic meal.

The menu is not extensive, but it doesnt have to be either, what’s on offer is a selection of fine meats and seafood, sourced from local suppliers. The selection of wines is impressive, and if you in town on a Sunday, they offer a great carvery service.

The Cross Butts is not just a restaurant, they have first class accommodation available also. The four poster suite with jacuzzi bath is a must and makes for an ideal valentines weekend.

Trenchers Fish and Chips, Whitby

Well located in the centre of Whitby, opposite the tourist office and railway station, Trenchers are famous for very high quality fresh fish, legendary light batters, bread crumbed or floured fish, served by smart courteous staff, guaranteeing you a meal to remember.
