A lovely and lively town. Cheap accommodation at the YHA hostel near the Abbey's ruins. Beautiful beaches.

Travel as a Muslim to Whitby

By car

The main routes into Whitby are all very scenic, but can be treacherous (or closed!) in bad weather, as they pass over high moorland and are susceptible to snow. Because of the nature of the relief around Whitby and there are many one in three gradients in and out of the town, and drivers should remain vigilant.

From Scarborough and East Yorkshire, you'll approach on the A171 coast road from the south-east.

From Teesside and the North East, you have a choice between the main A171 road, or the slower coastal A174.

From York and most other areas, take the A64 to Malton (England)|Malton then the A169 through Pickering (England)|Pickering and over theNorth York Moors. This is undoubtedly the prettiest route and is a really good road to drive on - just a couple of sharp bends to beware of, and then a dizzying plummet down a 25% (1 in 4) hill into the village of Sleights.

Like all tourist destinations and the roads into Whitby can be very busy during the summer season, and parking - while plentiful (main vehicle parks by the marina and on West Cliff) can be difficult to find. Unless you arrive early, you may find it best to park well out of the town centre and walk; it isn't far!

What to do in Whitby

Ghost walks- Whitby abbey and the town itself has a long history. There are many haunted sites so be sure to go on one of the guided ghost walks. Warning: the old town is a creepy place after dark and not for the faint hearted. Many strange, unnerving "incidents" have been reported and something not entirely benign clings to the ancient alleyways and yards. Enjoy the ghost tours by all means, but be careful what you meddle with in Whitby.

Dracula experience - walk through a tunnel modified like Dracula's Castle. 'look out for vampires'

199 steps - if you have the energy climb the 199 steps from town up to Street Marys church and the Abbey. The view is good. Especially good after dark, but watch out for the big black dog.

Climb the old lighthouse - the taller of the two 19th century lighthouses flanking the harbour entrance is open to visitors in the busier part of the year for great views along the coast and back into the town.

• Donkey Rides on the Beach - Kids enjoy the donkey rides on the beach on the west side of the harbour, available during the day, other than at high tide.
