WHITBY | The ultimate seafront tour of Whitby
ฝัง

- Welcome to Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. This seaside town is famous for it's town, Whitby Abbey and Dracula, but what is the town and seafront like? Is there a Whitby Beach? We find out.
Also watch our tour of Scarborough beach - • SCARBOROUGH | Full tou...
We visit Whitby for a wander along the seafront, harbour and beach, with a walk through Whitby Town Centre too to have a look at the things to see and places to go in Whitby when you're on your seaside holiday here.
People come from all the world to visit Whitby UK. With it's picturesque harbour, and it's steep steps leading up to the Abbey and of course the beautiful beaches, piers and historic streets, it's easy to recommend a holiday in Whitby England.
We start at the railway station and head down New Quay Road passing the famous Trenchers Fish and Chips restaurant. There's a huge debate as to what is the best fish and chips in Whitby. It seems to be a close tie between Trenchers and The Magpie Fish and Chips Restaurant although we'd also add Fishermans Wife into the mix
From Trenchers we can see The Endeavour Experience ship docked in the harbour. Well worth a visit on your day trip or Whitby Holiday.
Coming round New Quay Road we can see all the various boat trips that travel from here out to sea and back with amazing views of Whitby and the North Yorkshire Coast. The boat trips here include Yorkshire Coast Boat Trips, Whitby's Old LIfeboat Trips and the Black Pearl Pirate Boat Trips.
You can also head out to sea on a fishing trip courtesy of LibbyFishing or Tilly-Mae Whitby Fishing Trips.
Further along we come to the star of the show in the harbour, Whitby Bridge. The bridge crosses the River Esk and lifts and opens for ships to pass underneath.
We then head into the streets of Whitby Town along Sandgate, Bridge Street and Church Street and pop into Abbey Wharf in the shadow of Whitby Abbey that looms down from the top of the 199 steps (that I didn't attempt on this trip!)
Many people mistake The Church Of St Mary (or St Mary's Church) with Whitby Abbey when they look up the cliffside. It's actually mostly the church you can see from the town and harbour with the Abbey tucked away behind it.
Coming back along the seafront we head along St Anne's Staith and Haggersgate where we see The Dracula Experience, a spooky guided walk through the world of Dracula which is heavily linked to the town courtesy of Bram Stoker's novel.
Our Whitby Tour then continues along Pier Road, past Quayside and Harrys Lounge and past the famous Magpie Cafe fish and chips restaurant.
Above us us the Khyber Pass and the Whalebone Arch replica of a whales jaw bone that stands next to the Captain Cook Memorial outside the Royal Hotel.
Whitby Bandstand looks out to the River Esk and out to sea and close by are some of the amazing artwork and statues that have been installed recently that I really love.
No Whitby Holiday can be complete without a walk past the Gun Battery and Fisherman's Wife and down onto Whitby Beach for a walk along the sandy beach or a paddle in the sea. Here you will find lighthouses and donkeys for donkey rides as well as the waves of the sea lapping onto the beach.
You can also see Sandsend from here up the North Yorkshire Coast if you look hard enough.
But we wanted to finish this Whitby Walking Tour in style with an amazing view of the town from the pier so we make the journey along West Pier (With East Pier opposite) and along to one of the two lighthouses before ending our seaside tour right out to sea on the underside of the pier, watching the boats come sailing by on the sea.
The views from here at fantastic with views of Whitby Harbour, the town, the abbey, the 199 steps and more.
For your next holiday or day trip I fully recommend to come and visit Whitby England.

Thank you. I am 50 and living in the Midlands, as a child never went anywhere costal, your channel is helping me to learn about the places I have missed out on, the beauty and the buildings. I expect I wouldn't have appreciated it like that as a youngster of course. It is so amazing to see places so clearly and without relentless commentary. I have been to a few beaches in the UK Mersea Island in 1995 and Crosby Beach in 2008, both in Winter. Crosby was freezing cold lol, took a drive from Liverpool to see the beach and Anthony Gormley statues. I have been on beaches in Spain, but my knowledge of the UK is virtually zero. I did visit Borth in Wales around 1993 or something. Terrible wasted life I have lead. Thanks for helping me to make up for it. I am playing the videos at X2 speed and pausing here and there to read signs and things. Thanks again. I am hoping to watch loads more in the next few weeks.
Great video and a lot better with just the natural sound. I've been to Whitby quite a few times and watching this was like being there 👍
👍👍👍
Went here one day on a long drive from Scunthorpe in the 60s and it rained all day. Had a drink and dinner in old pub near quay and went home.....nice to see this place and its history...
You deserve 1 million followers!! You are the best of the best english walker!! Your channel is more than amazing..I cant stop watching 😍😍😍😍 Thank you soo much for sharing the best english places & keep up the good job..Love you
Thank you!
Have a great week ❤️
I’ve only ever had a brief visit to Whitby, so this visit was a pleasure, I feel as if I know it a lot more now. I loved the little narrow streets and little shops, just so full of character and a lovely atmosphere. It’s a lovely seaside town, and thanks to your video I can see that there is a lot more to see there than I thought . The beach is lovely as well. .I did bite my nails though when you were going down those steps towards the end 🫣😬 Well thanks for a lovely weekend of long seaside videos, they have been so enjoyable and the summer breeze really has carried me away. Thank you.
Thank you Rita!
Those steps were very steep 🤣🤣
I’m from Kentucky in the US. I first visited Whitby in the early 70’s with my husband, who was in the US Air Force stationed at RAF Chicksands in Bedford. We went to Yorkshire with British friends and spent two weeks in the Dales. I’m going back in May with my daughter. This video brought back so many memories. I’m looking forward to being back in Yorkshire.
What a beautiful Video of my Beloved Whitby, the Filming on this glorious of Days is absolutely 1st Class. It was lovely to see that Church Street & area has kept with their Original Shop Fronts! Whitby has remained unspoilt & has maintained it's Special Character & Charm, this Video Highlights & prooves this!! Thank You so much for sharing 💜
Thank you so much! That means a lot 👍👍❤️
Your filming is second to none. I love how you show everything of interest, and views from different angles. Made me feel that I was there, on such a beautiful day. Thanks so much. 🙏❤😘
Thank you that really means a lot to me 👍👍❤️
I absolutely love Whitby! 🤗 I'm going to live there one day. Thanks for great film, I really enjoyed it. 😘
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sadly its overpriced these days. I had a chance to buy a flat there in the town in 1999 for about 34k, I turned it down as there was no easy parking. Obviously I regret it now because of the skyrocketing prices. Ah well :(
Just home from whitby back to Dublin thanks for your lovely video to remind myself of all I experienced its incredible ,I went for bram stoker cos I love Dracula and I don't live far from where he lived . I love it dying to go back someday .
To Mystic Mia. DYING to go back there? Considering the links with DRACULA, how appropriate!
Lovely place Whitby, full of cobbled little lanes and history.
Defintiely - great place
@@GimbalWalkTV you can.imagine the pirates and smugglers back in the day in Whitby lol.
It’s such a pleasure watching your walks with no comentry,makes me feel I’m there ,❤😊
👍👍
me and my parents went to whitby for the day whilst we had a holiday in Scarborough last year, in the 90s my parents always took me and my sister to whitby for the day whilst we holiday in Scarborough
Nearly my entire family lives in Whitby, It’s so cool being able to see it in a video
I’m in Whitby right now! Beautiful place. Those seagulls are very disturbing whilst I’m trying to eat my fish and chips though! 😅
OMG I held my breath when you walked down the metal steps!! Then when you looked down at the wall ladder I was going nooooo!!! 😳🤣🤣 Stunning film of beautiful Whitby. ❤
Those steps were much steeper than they looked in the video too 🤣🤣
The metal steps are slippy when it's wet. 🇬🇧
Thank you so much for the amazing walks and for showing us these remarkable places!
My honour to do it for you ❤️❤️
Love the town due my PTSD travel is a problem. Having this video is magic, thank you. More of this type the normal sounds seating in my chair I am there again.
Thank you - will be doing as many as poss like this 👍👍
To Keith Hudson. Yes, an untapped source - video visits! Personally my "handicap" is not being able to stand hot places. In Spain, I could only go out for half a day - every SECOND day - I had to recover from the SUN, and THE HEAT! But I therefore came up trumps, when , on such a video, I saw a wonderful exhibition from the Cadillac Owners Club - on a baking hot day in California! I left a comment, sending greetings from London, (which they liked) , and a message that although I would never personally have been able to see it - due to not being good with heat. But I could still see it, in comfort, from my cooler living room! Good luck, by the way, with your PTSD. As a health researcher, I would something simple but effective for that! A can of GINGER ALE! One can of that, and you will be a new person! Stress burns our vitamins and minerals, even if we have been eating well, but GINGER (which the Asians and Orientals know about) cured my own PTSD recently! The answer is that simple!
Loved the tour. Thank you for taking me along! Natural sounds are so fab.
Thank you!
Have a great week ❤️
Excellent. I appreciate the slower more relaxed pace, and being able to hear the surroundings. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
I am an xpat living in Canada, I remember Whitby on a mill trip for the day, that was 73years ago, I do not remember Whitby as it is now there was of course the harbor and the castle and a few shops, to see it now it is lovely, only wish I could visit there again, we moved to Canada from Huddersfield in 1956. Thank you for this tour asol Blackpool, I remember Reginald Dixon in the tower ballroom. Happy memories.
Very nice seaside! Love the colours.
I have loved watching this video of Whitby, it is one of my favourite seaside places to visit.
Love the natural sounds! Your videos are great! thank you.

You’re welcome thanks for watching x
The best camera footage on the Internet and very professional 👏 👌 👍
Just watched your best one yet! Absolutely brilliant therapy for old armchair xxxx like me stuck in London. Whitby - 10 out of 10. May I suggest at trip - Sandgate Kent to Hythe Kent alone the seafront or The Military Canal.
I miss Whitby so much. Thank you for your video.
Just watched this video again, I love the east coast videos. Hopefully not too long before the weather warms up for you to be out and about again.
Beautiful view and very peaceful province.I love it too much.Many thanks for this ballad❤
I’ve never been Whitby I’ve been Bridlington and Scarborough but this is a little Gem to them it’s now on my bucket list

Whitby looks a lovely place
Oh yes - it definitely is
Very beautiful video sir been to UK twice this is a real UK please preserve it
Thank you
Great and historic place ❤️
Thank you! Last here in March time- before season opens - 2 yrs before the pandemic. Stayed for several days at one of the pub/hotels. Seen a few changes, a few shops gone. Still lots of Jet, sweets & tat! The Whitby Jet Museum in the Chapel was not open when we were there. It looks interesting. Glad to see Magpies going strong after their fire. Fab food in there. So many great fish n chips places too. Seagulls as bad as ever! Nice to see Capt Cook Museum still open. Its very interesting in there.
When did you film this as quite surprised at how many shops & cafes were not open. I'd say it was early June, midweek, school day. I've walked over that swing bridge when it was heaving with people. I need to go back again. Have to try this year I think.
That was a lovely walk down memory lane. Thanks x
I love Whitby we lived there for 12 months up on West cliff in The metropole hotel ❤❤
Very impressed with your video thanks never been there before maybe a visit on the cards pretty soon 😀 😃
Oh thank you Brian
Yes you should definitely have a day there it’s classy
Fabulous walk. Thank you! My favourite meal would be fish and chips at the Magpie Cafe, followed by ice cream at the Harbour Bar Scarborough. Yummy! Thanks to you I 've been able to visit both in the last couple of days.
Lovely stuff - thank you so much for watching my videos Morag!
To Norah- excellent suggestion, about where to eat WHAT FOOD! Wish I was there with you myself!
Whitby will be heaving at this year's Folk Festival which starts on 20th August for a full week of music, dancing (morris, clog and sword) and concerts, all over town in all the pubs. A wonderful time will be had by all including me !! 😁 🎼🎶🎵 👍 💯 ✔
Oooh might have to join you!
@@GimbalWalkTV Great! I'll be at the Shanty sessions - but how will I recognize you 🤔 oh yes, you will be wearing white trainers and have a Gimbal stuck to your hand !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love whitby
Same!
Whitby is so beautiful
Oh yes
Never seen a gimbal walk before, nor have I been to Whitby, but that was really quite nice. We're going to Whitby later in the year and this was really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much
Have a great time in Whitby!
(one of the best places on earth)
My home town looks very beautiful
It really is!
one of my fav hol places i go to reguraly
It used to be fantastic in the seventies, had some wonderful holidays there😪
It’s amazing!
GREAT WALK !!! BUT...The Seagulls seemed a bit upset because no one was feeding them chips !😂🤣😃
They’re such big beasts 🤣🤣
One of the nicest sea side towns in the uk
So lovely video. I didnt know there's a railway station in Whitby
Thank you!
Hi Gimbal, We are regular watchers of your lovely tours around the UK, being from Yorkshire we loved this one in Whitby, what a beautiful, olde worlde, diverse place, however we do have a criticism, where are your wonderful witty dialogues and accompanying music, these are what makes your channel unique, please bring them back.
Have been really Ill suffering from exhaustion so not been able to do them this week sadly
@@GimbalWalkTV I'm so sorry to hear that, your health definitely comes first , take more time for yourself and I wish you a speedy recovery, and then in future we can enjoy your superb walks around this beautiful isle.
I was there a couple day's ago , just got back to Canada yesterday
Wow - that's quite a trip!
Hope you had a good time?
Another great destination idea...The Shambles in York? Read that some of the buildings date back to 14th century! 😁
Oh yes!
2 Months then we will be there staying at a pub for the weekend Can not wait
Awesome - have a lovely time!
I was searching for Whitby and came across your video. I am from Portugal and I love the UK! This is a wonderful video of Whitby and it felt like i was walking there on such a marvelous day!! Whitby is very beautiful!!! Did you film with a phone? The video has very good quality and the image is superb! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much
Yes all on my iPhone and a gimbal
Amazing how good the video is now on phones
Where else should I film next?
arbroath
St Ives Cornwall
Stamford, Lincolnshire
Dungeness, Kent. Super weird part of Southern England, love it.
Lake District, Cumbria! 🤟
Another great video! The natural sounds are great, but deffo enjoy the commentary as well. Have learned some great historical facts..✌
So how much sand ended up in your trainers?! 🤣
Not too bad this time 🤣
Very differnet view of Whitbey.I was interested in seeing the inspiration fro Bram Stowers Dracula which is in tne distance but this is nice 😂
Next time you are on the NE Coast, I would sujjest a visit to Staithes, a real gem of a village, There is a very steep hill which leads down to the village, but there is a pub at the bottom, so refreshment is available
Ah yes - I've filmed Staithes (it's on my channel). It's my favourite place I've filmed so far!
I will defintiely go back there for sure!
Awesome would have liked a slightly longer walk along the beach though, after all that why we go to the sea side 😁👍
Have done that loads of times on my channel 👍🏻
Great walk around Whitters. I noticed you didn't feel up to those steps again hehe, (see other videos) ^_^ Loving the signature white Gimbal Walking trainers making another appearance ~_^
My legs have gone - Tackling those steps takes a 4 week preparation training 🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV I can imagine, I'm exactly the same ^_^ Great vid as always :)
Absolutely love your videos. Can I please ask what camera u use
Just my phone for this one 👍
My favorite walk yet. You are the best. I’m telling myself I’ll make the steps but at my age I’m not so sure. Heights are also starting to bother me but I justed looked away 🤣. Enjoyed the natural sounds.
Be there in October, do you have a favorite place for fish n chips? Are you familiar with the Duke of York at the bottom of the stairs?
I've not been in the Duke Of York no - will have to have a look next time!
I try a different fish and chips place each time - they're all ok
I found the Magpie to be very overrated though. It was fine. It wasn't actually bad, but just not a runaway success like people claim it to be?
The Duke of York is my Favourite to have a Drink in Whitby, lovely atmosphere & friendly staff have Dined there too on a few occasions.
Excellent...... well-thought out and filmed, leaving out irritating bulbous faces and mindless narration....10/10 for showing how to make a Visit Video!...well done Gimbal Walk TV!!
Thank you so much ❤️
that's the place I'm missing on holiday (cus I live there)
Ah where do you go on holiday then usually?
Your best Whitby video yet!
Loved it without the music and I'll be watching it a few times as I plan my holiday itinerary.
So many jet shops to check out!
But I think I already know the piece I want from Abbey Jet.
Can I ask what time of day you started this one?
Just checked it for you - it was 3:45pm :)
@@GimbalWalkTV
Wow I'm surprised how quiet it was!
I think without the music, it is better (the natural sounds)👍 🇬🇧
Agreed
Whitby in the raw...unedited and uncut...you can almost smell the winkles.
haha yes!!
I have a question? Have you increased the colour balance of the video content or is Whitby really that colourful? Thank you 👍
I have been many times since I was about 28, im 54 now. Done camping and guest houses with old drinking pal plus various girlfriends over the years. I just find it too commercialised and far too busy now unfortunately.
Ah sad to hear
I love it still
The 🦅 Were There First!
True
@@GimbalWalkTV Sometimes They Can Pick Up Germs From Humans Which Makes Them A Bit Stiff...
Hi do you enhance the video or is that a directly from recording thanks. And have you used a gopro 10 ? If so are they any good 👍
Hi,
I colour grade in Final Cut Pro X
I've not had a GoPro 10 but have all the others before it
The GoPro 11 will be out soon so I'm waiting for that one
They're great yeah!
Which date was this film on. I think I might be in the background. Thanks.
Heya,
It was 22nd June in the late afternoon
Watched this great video, thought what a lovely place, then I saw it, no dogs allowed on beach, so won’t be going
Ok
