- Whitby Tour | Full tour of Whitby from Captain Cook statue to Whitby Abbey.
Also see this walking tour of Scarborough Seafront in England : • SCARBOROUGH WALKING TO...
A full tour of Whitby in North Yorkshire, England starting at the Captain Cook statue and the Whale Bone arch and going on a full Whitby walking tour down through Whitby Bay, across Whitby Bridge and through the town to the 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey.
Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Scarborough borough of North Yorkshire, England. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has a 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 emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship.
Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed with the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by the proximity of the high ground of the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline and by association with the horror novel Dracula. Jet and alum were mined locally, and Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.
In this video we will take you to see Whitby Beach, and the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey.
The ruin at the top of the East Cliff is the town's oldest and most prominent landmark. Other significant features include the swing bridge, which crosses the River Esk and which is sheltered by the grade II listed East and West piers.
The town's maritime heritage is commemorated by statues of Captain Cook and William Scoresby, as well as the whalebone arch that sits at the top of the West Cliff. The town also has a strong literary tradition and has featured in literary works, television and cinema, most famously in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.

How do you keep the camera so smooth & steady?
Thanks for sharing, I hope to visit next year!
That is the old Market Square it was often used on Heartbeat with greengrass and his Fish and Chip van
Goth weekend in Whitby is brilliant, and they all have a really good time. Live music, especially folk music is everywhere.
This is true and I'm definitely going to film it the next time it's on Tony so stay tuned!
I know once I was a goth t was creept
Yes, my sister (From Denver Colorado) and I ( From Southern California) visited for two days back in April of 2017, loved every minute of it and would go back anytime. Best fish & chips in the world as well as a wealth of history, plus Whitby is my last name, so there's some family history there!
Ahhh yeah just noticed your surname Steve! How interesting - never met a Whitby before!
Greetings from the UK - hope you are safe and well and thank you for watching my channel!
I'm a local, love to see the town getting some good press, even if the streets are flooded with tourists at the moment...
Thank you! Hopefully things will calm down very soon and get a bit more sensible
You live in a beautiful town..I was in Whitby last week love the place..
Better tourists then the usual 90 year old trouts that walk around filling the air with a damp urine smell , that’s what I think of when I think of Whitby old smelly piss and overpriced frozen fish
b bb You sound like on of those old grumps to me mate.
@@EwokPilot why because I complained the whole town is full of old people who stink of piss ?
I like the entirety of this coastline - Scarborough, Whitby, Staithes, Runswick Bay and Robin Hood's Bay. Many childhood holiday memories. Of course, other coasts of Britain are lovely and interesting, too.
Agreed. I'm a Yorkshire lad so I have a natural favouritism for the Yorkshire coastline
@@GimbalWalkTV Haha I suspected that we might have a difference of Roses. I was brought up in Lancashire and was often taken to Blackpool, Fleetwood, Southport or Morecombe. My first visit to the Yorkshire coast was to Robin Hood's Bay 62 years ago (see my comment on your video there). As a teenager, I developed a love for York and around Ripon (Fountain's Abbey for example) and Skipton. I have lived around the UK (Aberdeen, Liverpool, Bristol, Plymouth, Sunderland and the Midlands). I have visited many parts of the world but I now live in Thailand.
Got a house up for sale in staithes
@@annasciara9577 Nice!! That should sell in double quick time!
I absolutely love Whitby. It's my favourite place in the world 100%.
Well said! Great place
The greatest seaside town fishing village in england 🇬🇧 and a bonus of count dracula abney so much to see up the 199 steps always and all around whitby a great day out and a brillant place to go there for holiday from anywhere in the world 🌎 another great video from a humble utuber always
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
As a kid holidayed at Saltwick Bay. Walked the short distance to whitby to see the unloading of the fishing boats. Live in Australia now but when in the UK always go to Whitby. We now have a tradition. There is a house on this video just before the 199 steps, it has very small Red door at 8 min 08sec I have photographed my son next to it, then 10 years later my daughter and in 2014 myself. Next trip it is my wife's turn if I can persuade her. 😁
Ah that’s such a cool thing to do - always looks great when you put the photos side by side!
I Lived here for 7 years on and off. I am originally from Sheffield but consider Whitby and Staithes and the area my real Home.
My American Wife calls it God's Country.
Been in Los Angeles for 3 years and the only beach to compare is Aliso California.
We are coming back to live in England and will probably be Staithes just up the road .
Thank you very much for your amazing videos, It Really helps me to combat the home sickness and also of course it's a beautiful place.
Kindest Regards
My wife lived here when we met, we've been married 27 years now and still occasionally visit Whitby. Great video, brings back some very happy memories, thank you. :-)
Ahhh that's fantastic to hear thank you Roy!
My wife and I have been to Whitby many times. We love it. It is a class holiday destination.
Agreed! Where do you usually stay?
We have stayed at the corner guest house, the Royal and two other guest houses that I can't remember the name's of
Thanks for showing me Whitby...long wanted to visit it, and as a Dracula nut it was extra special, sadly, even if I could visit, wouldn’t be able to tackle those steps up to the Abbey.
Those steps are in my nightmares now Margaret!! 🤣🤣
I went to Whitby last year and I’m at Whitby right now, I arrived yesterday!
Have a great time Grace!!
Gimbal Walk TV thank you so much
I've watched a few of your videos now after only discovering them today. Obviously they're excellently filmed and really give the impression of being there.
BUT the thing I love most about them is your cheery and positive outlook, your comments are great and you always see the best of things, it makes the videos even more enjoyable. Thank you!
One of my favourite places in the world / so many happy memories here - Highly recommend the Whitby ghost tours & Trenchers fish & chips! Hope to get back there soon.
Agreed - a lovely day out!
Trenchers is the worst chippy in the town silver street fisheries is the bes t
Love this place lived there for a while and revisit every year for the last twenty years
You have good taste - it's a lovely place!
I love whitby but never seen the abbey .thank you for showing me it x
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
Whitby, my favourite place in the world. I’m from further up the coast (Middlesbrough) but no longer live in the UK. A visit to Whitby is a must whenever we are in the UK. We visited Whitby last year and then drove to Scarborough. It’s been many years since I last visited Scarborough but I was very disappointed. Whitby never disappoints!!
Agreed!
Thank you for watching my channel 👍
We visit Yorkshire every few years, and always visit Whitby when we’re there. A fantastic little town with lots of history and loads of other great things to do, and if you’re there on a sunny day it’s just marvellous 👍
It really is!
I lived up the coast from Whitby, in Marske. Love Whitby, Staithes, Runswick Bay etc. Ran wild as a kid on the beach, got purple legs going to school in shorts in the winter. Snow on the beach was fun. Anyone watching this should take a trip to the North East. Great video Sir ! Going to take a few of my buddy's to Whitby in July on our motorcycles. They have never been to Yorkshire/Cleveland . I have lived in Devon for 40 years now
Your buddys will love you for showing them the Yorkshire coast
Just live Whitby. Often there stopped in the Resolution Hotel last time. Have purchased more than a couple of jet pieces of jewellery. Fab vibes around Whitby
So true - lovely place!
Brilliant! My screen saver is the view from halfway up the steps! LOVE WHITBY!
Perfect!
Even though I now live 3,500 + miles away, I still need a Whitby "Fix" once in a while and watch this video!! Some of the shops I remember are still there, others are new but the buildings - thank goodness - are still the same. Thank you for posting this
You did a great job! Of course, you could slow down as you pass the shops so I can get a better look!!!!!
Thank you - noted - I'll be heading back that way soon so will do just that!
been to Whitby many times do i love the place yes love it there
You have great taste Steven - great place
Please don't misconstrue, but 51% of why I immediately subscribed is because of your choice of music. Your choices are impeccable. Well, the 49% is because of the sharpness, clarity of the visuals, the immense readability of the subtitles, and the relaxed, unhurried nature of your walks. It's like you're giving a friend a walking tour of a cherished place.
Very much appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dennis that's perfect feedback!
Am so happy you like the music - it makes me feel happy and upbeat when I hear it so drop it onto the videos to hopefully do the same to others!
Beautiful place&lovely walk around Whitby ,,,,,,,,,bg ,,,,,
Thank you!
Beautiful place, would love to live there.
Same!
Lovely video of a lovely township. Great soundtrack as well. After climbing those steps, I realise why there are so many gravestones up top!
Thank you.
ha ha you're not wrong about the killer steps!! 🤣
I thoroughly recommend a trip to Whitby.. I'm too old to go anywhere these days and these dvds make my day. Thank you Mr Gimbal xxx
You're welcome Maureen - lots more to come too
My aunt and uncle came from Whitby, he was a fisherman and as far as I know I still have 2 cousins who live there, we used to go and visit them when I was a kid, I absolutely love Whitby, from what I can remember it hasn't changed that much
It is very traditional and all the better for it too eh Kathleen! Beautiiful place!
Thank you for this. I went to Whitby nearly 40 years ago and haven't been back as it's a long way to travel from London. At the time I went with my husband and in-laws. At the time I thought it was a lovely seaside town with a lot of charm. Remember getying a fresh mackerel off one of the fishing boats. Is there still a fishing industry there? . I'd love to go back to see it. I can recall the shops selling jet which was worn in victorian times as a sign of mourning, some were carved. Absolutely delightful. Thank you again.
Ah thank you so much! You're really welcome!
wHITBY is 3.5 hours by train from London , do it often , whats the matter with you ,40 years???
Stunning! Haven't been to Whitby in years, not sure I could tackle the 199 steps now but have had the pleasure many times. I love Whitby. Thanks for sharing.
You're really welcome - thank you for watching my channel!
I know Whitby well. Although l was born and grew up in Bristol, and now live in Somerset, my father came from Whitby and l still have relatives there. Beautiful place. Not sure when or if l will be able to visit again, so it was lovely to share this walk.
Thank you Mary.
Have a lovely week ❤️
Only live 20 miles away. Was there on Friday beautiful as always. One of my favourite places on Earth. Just wish I could have a cottage on Henrietta Street.
Oooh yes! Definitely! Lovely place!
One of the best places I've been fond memories of being there with my late partner Linda😘
Ahh that's nice - happy memories! Nobody can take your memories away!
Thank you for watching my TH-cam channel! 👍
Been going to Whitby and surrounding area roughly once every 2 years for the last 28 years and plan to keep on doing so. Love it.
Good choice - great place Richard!
I went to whitby back in August 2017 and I'm going again on October 8th which I'm looking forward to
Great stuff - you'll have a fantastic time!
Whitby is one of those places that everyone needs to visit!
Yes! Yes totally! It's beautiful
Our favourite holiday place in the whole of UK. We did this exact walk July 2020 literally as all started to open up. We arrived 4th July. Oooh soooo love Whitby
Well said - lovely place!
visited here for the first time 2 years ago, can honestly say it's one of the nicest places we have visited, hope to return this year.
Well said Anthony - fantastic place!
I went to Whitby when I was 9yrs old that was 1943 during the war, went there for 2 weeks, doen't look much like I remember but I do still remember going up 199 steps to the abbey,no chance of going there again as I'm too old and live in the USA but I do remember we had a good time but had to go back to London.
Happy memories Margaret!
Those steps are steep aren’t they!
Went to Whitby on a bus tour with my elderly father and loved the place even though I couldn't go up to the abbey ruins (I'll do that on a future visit). I could see when I was there how popular Whitby is, it was jam packed with people. Visited the Captain Cook museum and had one of the best fish and chips ever. Looking forward to returning there soon.
When it gets busy it gets very very busy!
Absolutely my favourite place on the Yorkshire coast, closely followed by Scarborough... Great video.
Marvellous! Love Whitby, get to go most years. I’ve played crazy golf and won a free game ,been up the lighthouse, on the pirate boat, bought Whitby jet jewellery from w. Hammond, bought fresh crab from the fish mongers, bought handmade soap, walked the steep Whitby steps, been in the church at top of steps, sat in that bench the couple was sat on and eaten at the best chippy restaurant fisherman’s wife. Yes that is a small market square on certain days. My son did a small piece near the whale bones and steps on Oliver’s get about if u want some tips lol. Another wonderful video, Keep on walking 😀
Fantastic - that sounds like a fun packed holiday jam packed with lots of activities and of course fish and chips - perfect!
I’m going in October 2020 and you’ve certainly wet my appetite!! 😀
Just love Whitby it my favourite seaside town can't get enough of the place rain or shine Whitby is a beautiful place I love your video thanks 👍
Ah thank you so much - Thank you for watching my channel 👍
Did the Coast2Coast September 2015 finishing at Robin Hoods Bay. We spent a day walking around Whitby, brilliant. Your video bought back memories for us from New Zealand. Cheers.
I visited Whitby in March 2019. I stayed at the Royal Hotel. One of my favourite places. I had fish and chips at The Fisherman’s Wife restaurant. The best fish and chips I’ve had. Whitby is lovely.
Agreed! You're the second person to mention Fisherman's Wife to me today!
We are going to the Royal Hotel next Friday to Monday, try to go at least twice a year was there in January, always go to the Magpie I will try the Fisherman's wife. Cheers 👍
Love your walking tours, Whitby is now on our list to visit
Perfect feedback thank you ❤️
I have been to Whitby but it was a long time ago,beautiful place ,and fish and chips were the best I’ve tasted,this castle I love ,didn’t get this far,would love to visit again thank you.
Thank you so much Barbrara!
Thank you for watching my channel 👍
Just found your walks and will be watching all of them! Refreshing, Informative, relaxing. Just feels like we are walking there ourselves. I live in Knaresborough and love to visit Whitby. Never tire of its sights and smells. So glad of my discovery. My husband will enjoy because there is no talking, just music. Thank you from your newest fan, Carol
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much! Have a nosey through the channel - most of the videos I do are UK based, villages, seaside, towns etc with the occasional one abroad and overseas!
Thank you so much for watching!
I was on Whitby last Weekend. What a beautiful place very Clean safe distancing was great in Whitby. Unfortunately I couldn’t say the same for Scarborough Clean but queuing for restaurants was worrying. Both beautiful places to visit. Beautiful part of world ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Agreed! Lovely places!
Great video. I know Whitby very well as I used to live up the road at Guisborough and Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington Were all days out for us. Thanks for the nostalgic tour. (PS I live in Devon now and trips home are infrequent)
Thank you Brian! I'm heading for Devon soon to film a few there!
Whitby looks like an amazing place.
It really is!
Ahh. Many happy memories! Thank you - from 50 years ago with our parents - to recent years with my sister - Christmas 2020 & looking forward to September 2021.
Our pleasure!
Would love to go to Whitby again. Haven’t been since childhood, we used to stay in Captain cooks cottage on Grape Lane. Seen the extra high tides that flood the roads on Abby side of the harbour. Great video.
Thank you Angela!
You should definitely go to Whitby again if you get the chance - it makes memories!
Thank you again for watching my channel 👍
We love whitby,cant wait to visit once this is all over and head back to the rowing club for a few beers in the sun...great video!!!!
Thank you!
Hopefully back to normal soon Stuart and we can all get out and about again!
Stay safe my friend and thank you for watching my channel ♥️
I was in Whitby last September on holidays I have been over to England about half dozen times, and always go to Whitby. Those fish and chips at the water front you can't beat them and are well worth the trip from Australia. Last time I brought a pair of "Kippers" from the old smoke house, me and my "Pomie Mate" had them for breakfast. I brought the wife a necklace from "The Whitby Jet Store" and heaps of the old "Whitby Rock" from James rock shop. That video tour was the exact way we went when I was there, couldn't climb the steps this time getting to old, but I have done before. When all this "Virus" thing is finished with we are going back one more time to "Whitby" "Truly a Beautiful Place"
Superb memories Laurie!
Whitby is the greatest isn't it!
Thank you for watching my channel 👍
Yes where the seat's are set out is where they have the market. Seeing this has made my mind up to go again. Will be my 8th 2 week holiday. I love it. Thanks for sharing
Have fun!
Thanks for watching my channel! 👍
I never realised Whitby had so much to offer.
Looks a very clean safe place.
Oh yes it's truly fantastic!
Visited here last week when we were staying in our tent at Grouse Hill, good day out. We also came back at night when it was a lot less crowded and really foggy, climbed the 199 steps in the dark and fog, kids loved it!
I bet they did - but I bet they got up there a lot faster than I managed 🤣
And me! Haha
Lovely video of Whitby you captured everything fab about this seaside resort
Thank you so much Claire!
More on the way so subscribe if you can! 👍
Have been to Whitby twice. Fantastic town with lovely cobbled streets and the walk up the 199 steps is breathtaking. Definitely a town famous for its fish and chips as well as the Abbey, Count Dracula and Captain Cook.
Totally agree!

Arrived by train in 2014. Walked through the city. Had fish and chips at Magpies. Absolutely a beautiful and wonderful city.
Perfect!
Superb tour - thanks very much! Haven't been there for about 50 years - must go back, but I think I'll give those steps a miss.
Ray Beaumont ha ha wise move Ray - they nearly killed me! 🤣
We visited Whitby in spring 2004. We were told
The Magpie was good and were not disappointed.
That’s good! Are you going to go again?
@@GimbalWalkTV We are in US and not likely to be able to return, but would love to!
Just spent 2 glorious weeks there, as we do every year, love the place. Lost my wedding ring on the beach but still didn't put a damper on the holiday.
Oh no! That's a nightmare! Lovely place though!

Sorry to hear about your wife but what a lovely and beautiful place as your final resting place John
One of our favourite places. Should have been in Toronto right now but not happening. Coming to Whitby this WE to compensate. Excellent video.
Thank you so much Sheila. Have a great time in Whitby!
Well done! Whitby is one of my favorite places in the world, I may be a bit biased growing up in the northeast, but it really is a special place.
Agreed!! 👍
Hi, I have to say I'm enjoying all of your walks, and can't wait to see new ones, keep on walking 😊
One of the most beautiful places I have ever been
Lovely isn’t it
We are going next week for a holiday i love it there and Scarborough i enjoyed watching this video
Thank you! Have a great time!!
Stayed in The Pier hotel alongside the quayside two years ago.
It was my first visit. Fell in love with the place.
Great walks around town and the beach. Definitely going back next spring / early summer.
Some lovely memories of Whitby and a very tragic one . Favourite pub , Duke of York , fish and chips and a pint of Guinness overlooking the harbour , worst moment , watching people run down the harbour side trying to stop a small cruiser leaving the harbour without success , and it capsized tragically taking the lives of those on board .
Oh no!! that's horrible
Thank you so much for these video makes lock down just a little more bearable..
You’re welcome thank you so much for watching my channel ❤️
Another brilliant walk - thank you so very much, more memories from when my late wife and I were young, strong and agile :) The Abbey was built on a high point to be closer to God of course. For any one interested ( I`m a Medieval Historian ) it was In the year 664 that the Synod of Whitby accepted the authority of the Roman Catholic Church for English Christianity, whilst the present Abbey ruins date from the 13th century - just slightly more important than the Dracula associations I tend to think :)
Well done with those 199 steps - a genuine achievement !!
Ah thank you so much for the kind words but thank you for the Information too! I love to learn so really appreciated ❤️
@@GimbalWalkTV I am indeed so pleased to hear that. As a historian, I have always been aware how easily important historical perspectives can be lost or forgotten, so have a tendency to mention such things, which, alas, is an opinion that not everyone shares. I love Whitby North Sea Cod and chips and a local beer, but I also love history to :)
always pop into whitby while staying in filey when we vist from scotland both towns are full of history and wonderfull people am looking forward too my yearly trip next week
Ah you're going to Whitby! Am jealous!
Have a really great time Paul! 👍
Usually go there for thecFolk We usually go for Folk Festival, lots of Morris dancers etc. Love Whitby, the pub we always end up in is the Elsinore in Baxtergate, which is were the landlord first let the Goths go in there, is were the Goth Festival first started, good music sessions every evening during Folk Festival. Thanks so much for the walking tour, it was great, very enjoyable.
Thank you for watching! I really want to film the Goth Festival!
went for the first time last year and absolutely loved the place, cant wait to go back, i beleive some of the steps up to the abbey have numbers on them, i am probably way out but i think its in the region of 175.
199 isn't it? Felt like 10000!! Thank you for watching my channel 👍
Just a great place to be even if pouring with rain and windy as hell 👍
Agreed!!
Thank you so much for watching my channel and my videos it really means a lot to me 👍
Thanks for this informative video. You did a great job walking up the 199 steps. The view is fantastic.
Thanks for watching
Been doing Whitby every year up to covid. Now it's nearly all over, it's time to go back, I reckon.
Definitely
Yes it's a beautiful place I love it will be there June 2022 x
Have a great time!!
