10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Whitby That You Shouldn't Miss

March 8, 2022 Claudia Navarrete

Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English county of North Yorkshire. It is located within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port developed during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was (along with the nearby fishing village of Staithes) where Captain Cook learned seamanship.

Museum of Victorian Science

A virtual visit to Dr Frankensteins laboratory with Geissler Tubes, Bouquet Tubes, Railway Tubes, Jacob's Ladder, telegraph system, early x-ray tubes and many more crackling spark, electric flame laden demonstrations. Showing the education of the young Victorians, using many of the static accessories and rare artefacts, as used by them. We hope your visit here will prove interesting, stimulating and will give an insight into this largely extinct branch of science.

What an amazing and unique experience. The museum is run by a lovely couple an consists of 2 hours of demonstrations with explanation and refreshments at the halfway point. The room is small and can fit 4 visitors only. Tony is so enthusiastic and the museum is his lifes work, an entertaining and unique experience!

Ebor Jetworks

Reviewed By pchell147 - Huddersfield, United Kingdom

Have visited here previously and every time I’m in Whitby this is the one shop I’m constantly drawn back to. This summer purchasing a small jet pendant set in silver as my 12yr old son had his heart set on wearing one like I have (which was also purchased from here a couple of years ago) Having gone into the quaint and welcoming workshop I didn’t see a pendant like I had. I spoke to a lovely chap who owned the shop and he said he’d have a look for a suitable piece of jet. Having found this he said he’d make it for him and to return later. Upon returning he’d make a stunning pendant which made my son smile from ear to ear. Sadly last week my son caught the chain and the bail came apart and the pendant lost. Tears ensued and I got in touch with the Ebor via phone. After sending a few emails and measuring the one I had I was told by David he’d make one up especially. True to his word this was done in a couple of days and he went out of his way to pop it in the post that evening so my son would have it as quickly as possible. The next day a lovely black ember lol arrived and the pendant was with us. Thankfully my son is happy again. It’s also good to know they only work with genuine jet. Their pieces are unique and work with you to make custom pieces. The epitome of customer service. As soon as I’m back in Whitby they’ll be no doubt I’ll be visiting again.

St Mary's Church

Reviewed By 353cliffw - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

Stopped off at the church by chance on way to the abbey and we’re glad we did as it was a most interesting place which should not be missed. The enclosed pews of various shapes and sizes and status fill the ground floor and balcony which overlook a three tier pulpit. Most unusual and fascinating. Some of the upstairs pews have external timber clad stairs adding to it’s uniqueness. Finally the surrounding graveyard offers fine views of the harbour.

It's a steep climb down to the beach passing little shops on the way. Little cottages make this place a picture postcard place and well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Fabulous outdoor tea room. Magical setting in beautiful woodland with a spectacular waterfall. Friendly staff. Food was epic. The best bacon cobs we have ever had. Tasty nachos. Great cake. Just wish now we had tried the fabulous looking scones too. Good size teapots. Fire pit with marshmallows to toast for the children. Lovely play area. Some of the seating was undercover. Our boys (6 and 3) thought it was so awesome we had to return for a second visit during our half term holiday in North Yorkshire. They are still talking about their visit to the falling foss.
