The climb is worth the effort just to take in the fantastic views of the town and out to sea.

There are plenty of traditional pubs to complement the wine bars, as well as many different bistros and restaurants to choose from, not forgetting award-winning fish and chips.

There are many local walks in the area including the Cleveland Way route, and the Cinder Track across the viaduct which heads down to Robin Hood’s Bay.

Head inland into the North York Moors National Park for stunning scenery and fabulous views. Local bus, car, bike or even a journey on a traditional steam train are other ways to get out and see what the area has to offer. The Victorian seaside town of Scarborough is just down the coast with its two huge bays; North Bay for a quiet stroll watching the waves, or South Bay for amusement arcades, a fairground and a harbour. The Open Air Theatre plays host to many international artists throughout the summer months, and Peasholm Park hosts its Model Naval War on a regular basis. There are a number of golf courses, cycling tracks and country or beach walks in the local area. If history is your thing, there are many abbeys and historic places of interest throughout North Yorkshire including the Eden War Museum in Malton. The walled city of York is just an hour’s drive away.

  • Graham & Karen

    Stayed here just before Easter amidst a wet and windy Whitby, but Silver 6pence was such a cosy house that once we were back from sightseeing and tucked up inside we were happy. The property had everything we could have asked for, being well equipped and comfortable without over fussy. Great location with its own parking and local shops eateries and amenities too. Located a 15-20 minute stroll along West Cliffs to reach the harbour and town centre was ideal for walking the dog, enjoying the views out to sea and coastal parkland.

  • Sue Wareing

    Lovely house with private parking which is a big bonus in Whitby. Beautifully decorated. Has everything you could possibly think of. Great enclosed area at the rear of the house. Very comfortable bed. It’s only about a 10/15 mins walk into Whitby. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone. Thank you Jackie & Mike for letting us stay in your beautiful house. **
