1. Whitby

Our main office is located in Whitby, one of Yorkshire's and England's most gorgeous locations. Whitby is a classic coastal town with cobblestone streets, a wide variety of eateries and cafes, and several independent artisan stores.

The most prominent association with Whitby is with Bram Stoker's Dracula. The Whitby Goth Weekend, an annual celebration of its gothic culture, is held every year. Moreover, the town has connections to Captain Cook, who is commemorated by a monument on the west cliff, and you may learn more about these connections by going to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum.

2. Sandsend

The lovely village of Sandsend is only 3 miles north of Whitby. This location can suit your needs if you're seeking for a charming beach getaway. The beach is one of Sandsend's attractions; it's ideal for a family outing with the kids as they explore everything the beach has to offer.

With abundance of seaside hikes and cycling paths, it's also a terrific destination for you ardent cyclists and walkers.

3. Filey

On the North Sea coast, Filey is a seaside town halfway between Scarborough and Bridlington. It is mostly recognised for its long history of fishing, award-winning beaches, and jaw-dropping landscape.

Filey, which is similar to Sandsend but considerably quieter, is the ideal rural beach property for people seeking to get away from the bustle of daily life with their visitors.

4. Robin Hood's Bay

A charming fishing community called Robin Hood's Bay can be found in the North York Moors National Park on the historic coast. It is renowned for its meandering walkways and cobblestone streets.

The ever-popular Whitby and Scarborough are only a short drive away, making Robin Hood's Bay an excellent starting point for exploring the North York Moors and the Yorkshire coast.

5. Staithes

On the Yorkshire coast, close to Runswick Bay and Whitby, is the lovely fishing town of Staithes. The word "landing place" in Old English is where the word "landing" derives from. Locals refer to it as "Steers" instead of "Staithes."

Its beach is protected by piers and rocks, so you don't have to worry about choppy waters and your little children. Due to Captain James Cook's residence here from 1736 until 1746, it shares similarities with Whitby in that both cities have a rich maritime heritage. In addition to engaging in a variety of watersports along the Dinosaur shoreline, you can explore the Esk Valley and the North York Moors area from here.
