We hope this video helped give you an idea of some of the attractions in Whitby. There are even more things to see and do than we were able to cover on our trip, so if there are any sights or places to eat/drink that you love that we missed in our video, then let us and the other viewers know in the comments!

Whitby is one of those few places in the world that should always remain the same. Such a beautiful city. Really nice folk. Would move there in a heartbeat.
I plan to at retirement, I spent my childhood here, and moved away, but return several times a year - my heart is here, even though I wasnt born here. Love the place, and will return permanently before I expire if I get a fair wind and am able to keep going.
The north of england is so beautiful and underrated with the lake district, yorkshire dales, and high peak. and then with Newcastle, York, Whitby, Lancaster, Liverpool, and Manchester. It's a beautiful part of the country.
Been to Whitby and loved it, going again this year and the railway, moors and food are excellent. So sad that so many travel abroad all the time without exploring and knowing their own country too. Britain is beautiful and not enough people realise it. Excellent Video, thanks.
Very true, we do have some beautiful places here. I hope you have a great time when you go back to Whitby! Have some fish and chips for us 😄 Thanks for watching
Had another great time in Whitby and went to Robins Hood Bay, Filey and Goathland too. Weather was warm and sunny, the food and drink great. Only thing government needs to do is stop adding 20% vat to accommodation bills. We have a beautiful country, they should do all they can to help our tourist industry and encourage holidays in our own country. Thanks to the people of Whitby etc, your the salt of the earth.
Whitby is my favourite place in the world and this video helps me explain to friends and family why AND this also included some attractions Ive never seen before despite going several times for the steampunk festivals they have in whitby. This vid was delightful, thank you!
I have been to Whitby just for the day what a amazing place, you never mentioned the famous railway arriving and leaving Whitby. Thank you from New Zealand
Yeah, Whitby is such a wonderful seaside town! Oh yes, the North York Moors railway, we weren't able to fit that into our trip sadly. Good suggestion though! I'd like to spend a full day using one of their hop on hop off style tickets at some point 🙂 We did that on the KWVR and it was great fun!
Whitby council should pay you for this video, The people that will now visit whitby because of your video well done to you what a good job you have both done paul liverpool
Thank you so much for the time and efforts you put into your videos! Planning my trip to Whitby this year, and again, you are the most informative and helpful vlog that I have seen. I have learned a lot and wish I had planned even more time in Whitby - I will have to return!
I'm glad you are finding our videos informative, I love packing in extra practical details so it's always good to hear when it's useful. Thank you for watching 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace I've just moved up to West Yorkshire from London loving the fresh air just looking for places to go this is one of my favourite places .....
Whitby is a great choice! There's some lovely smaller spots along the coast near Whitby too if you haven't been yet (like Staithes and Robin Hood's Bay). 😀
The boat trips sound like a really fun way to see the Whitby! The Whitby Abbey looks absolutely stunning. I have to go see that place for myself 😍😍 thanks for sharing this awesome adventure! Looks like there is so much to do there 😊
Whitby looks so gorgeous! Great video with helpful information. I'm heading to the UK on vacation for a week tomorrow and I'll be staying in Whitby. I can't wait to explore this lovely coastal town, eat British fish & chips and take in all the scenery. I imagine it looks as beautiful in winter as it does in summer ⚓⛵🤍💙
Oh lovely, you'll have a great time! There are some beautiful spots around there (I particularly like Robin Hoods Bay) and some very pretty villages inland too. Hope you have a great trip!
YEYYYYYYYY coming back to North East ahemmm Middlesbrough utb ! & of course we are visiting whitby cannot wait kelly n andrew from paisley Scotland 🏴
Wow! Great video. Am going to Scarborough this month and planning a day trip yo Whitby. This definitely helped. Loved how you showcased the place.. the editing and the narration... its just right and not to overwhelming like other vids I've seen. Subscribed.
What a great video for someone looking to come to Whitby. Very informative, and showing off some great places. The road at the side of the steps is called the donkey track, which the donkeys used to use on their way to the beach, and cars have become wedged at the bottom (true story). We also loved the Endeavour pub, for it's atmosphere and great staff. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
oh yes, I have looked up Goathland before actually as a possible place to visit. I think we will make it over there at some point. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@OurTravelPlace you welcome😉 More infos for you: About Hecate Enthroned:english black metal band from Liverpool. About photo:orginal was in black and white made by Sir Simon Neville Llewelyn Marsden 1.Xll.1948./22.l.2012.r.i.p. The photo on the album has a purple shade.
Really enjoyed your video. Subscribed to your channel now. You look like a lovely couple who really make the most of travelling and making some great memories with it.
Excellent video - I agree with the key areas you suggest exploring - I thought I could add a few more to help people who visit this wonderful seaside town. You could have added finding the pirate graves in St Marys graveyard? if you found them of course.😂I have spent my whole live in and around the town, and return regularly - more than once per year, and spend whole weeks there when I can. The unique light you talk about is because the sun rises over the east pier, and sets over the west pier - and the harbour entrance points North. So while the town is on the North East coast, its beach has an interesting run, which means there is always light on the beach from dawn to dusk everyday, and it creates really unique perspectives and looks - more so if you photograph it regularly. It is the only place in the UK where I can order fish and chips and know the quality of what I will get. I have encountered only a small number of f&c places beyond the town in the UK which have maintained the same standard, tradition and quality - trust me they are few and far between, and happy to send you my very small list of the ones I return to beyond the Whitby borders. You could have made more of Justins fudge there is a whole story behind the shop, with a little research to add depth - Justin was a town legend, and sadly passed a few years back, but his apprentice kept the smaller of the two shops going, and continues the vision Justin created. Amazing place, and amazing quality chocolates. And my thank you for ending on Robin Hoods Bay - nothing beats walking down the Cinder Track (could be another gem to find) from Whitby to Robin Hoods Bay, and walking back along the cliff tops on the Cleveland way - It is my favourite walk in the UK. More so if you carry a few cakes and sandwiches from Bothams in Whitby. Enjoy the new year.
Thank you for your comment, there's so much information in there that other viewers could find interesting so hopefully people will spot it! :) I don't believe we have found the pirate graves on any of our trips to Whitby! We will have to look on a future trip. I also didn't realise there was a story behind Justin's fudge shop so will have to google more about it. Any fish and chips recommendations are always welcome! I would love to do the walk from Whitby to RHB at some point. We did the (admittedly much shorter!) walk from Boggle Hole to RHB a few weeks ago, which was lovely, and stayed at the Youth Hostel at Boggle Hole. Great place to stay. Happy New Year!
@@OurTravelPlace Enjoy finding the pirates. A fun vignette to keep you occupied in the grave yard for an hour. Fish and Chips - When you are in Whitby next, try getting your fish and chips in Silver Street (its where the locals go). In Kent - try The Varne near Dungeness, or Jones on Whitstable high street. In Northumberland try Neptunes at Seahouses - probably the best outside Whitby, or Brough Chippy on the A66. If you can handle the 13 mile round walk, The cinder track down to RHB, and back along the cliffs is epic. As an alternative and only if low tide is around the time you arrive in Ravenscar - try RHB down the cinder track to Ravenscar - visit the tea room there if open - then drop down the cliffs to the seal colony, and the follow the beach line back to RHB and come up the ramp on the beach there - thats epic. If the tidy is wrong, miss out the seals, cut through the old alum works and walk back to boggle hole and then along. Another area to see is Saltwick Bay - there are ship wreck pieces if you know where to look, and the tidy is kind - but be wary of where the tide is as many can get stuck and regularly do. Happy New Year.
I do remember another commenter recommending the Silver Street chippy and said the same thing you did. Definitely top of the fish and chips list next time we are in Whitby. That 13 mile walk sounds great! All those miles and the sea air...bet it would feel very rewarding. Would love to do that. Funny you should mention Saltwick Bay and the tide. We did attempt the walk on the trip where we filmed this video but did realise we got the tide wrong and had to make a very quick retreat 😬
@@OurTravelPlace You wont regret Silver street - but I would love to hear your views if you do, and on the long walk too. As an idea - why not take large bothams rolls and cakes, walk to RBH, and do Silver street when you get back. Saltwick Bay - google tide times whitby, I use that to set my walking times. I tend to head down the West pier on to the beaches between Whitby and Saltwick bay two hours before low tide - and then walk around to Saltwick bay - steer clear of the cliffs, Ive seen huge drops when ive done this walk. But you do get to see the wreck of the concrete boat, the SS Rohilla, and if you walk right around the bay to black nab (the single pinacle at the far end of Saltwick bay) here you will find a trawler called the Admiral Von Tromp. An entire disaster on its own. www.flickr.com/photos/daveseargeant/48925802927/in/dateposted-public/ www.flickr.com/photos/daveseargeant/48925802927/in/dateposted-public/ I usually advise walking back along the cliff top to the Whitby Brewery for a well earned pint. Ignore the fossil hunters chipping away at the cliff footings - large land falls are common here, and at RHB. Other than that enjoy.
@@DS-cf1zc "As an idea - why not take large bothams rolls and cakes, walk to RBH, and do Silver street when you get back." - yes, I love this suggestion - any excuse to try plenty of food! :D Great photo, pretty cool to see that on the Saltwick Bay walk. Thanks for the info about tide times, I think we set off a bit late. Itching to get my walking boots back on now with these suggestions! :)
Wonderful guide and showcase of the best of Whitby. Lots of valuable information provided. Ahh... Captain Cook - we were on the big island of Hawaii years ago and snorkeled by the shore where Captain Cook was killed by natives. There is a monument there. Thanks for sharing and have a great day 😀👍
Indeed it was tiring carrying coffins up the 199 steps, you'll notice benches set to the side as you walk up, those are not just there to rest your weary feet, but were in fact placed there to rest the coffins to give the pallbearer's a break on their way to the top...!!
Thank you so much for this video. My friend and I were scheduled to visit the UK last May but of course, the trip was postponed because of COVID-19. Hopefully next year. I've been in love with Whitby since reading the novel Dracula when I was in eighth grade. It looks as if it's a beautiful place in so many ways.
Oh it is beautiful with plenty to see and do, you have made a great choice for your trip! Where else in the UK are you planning to visit? Fingers crossed your trip can go ahead next year!
Never knew there were such cool places to visit in the UK! Cant wait to get there one day. What an incredible vessel! What was the price? sorry if you mentioned and we missed. Harbors, piers, cafes and restaurants are all looking awesome
Not sure if you mean the boat trip or the endeavour, but the boat trip was £4 and the endeavour was £5. Whitby is a great place in the UK to go... my favourite English seaside town I've visited so far!
I live in Nottingham I go there at least 3 5 times a year it’s brilliant I can’t stop eating the fish and chips in abbey wharf I stayed in a apartment chiniese type of one
Thanks for this tour of what to do in WHITBY. It is such a stunning place and right along the water which makes it extra cool! Love that you created this Travel Guide with some must do places. Really makes us want to go visit. Definitely a stunning place with the ruins and the museum. Whitby beach looks really nice too but yes, right now is too cold to go swimming! I think the biggest highlight for us would probably going to the restaurant and cafes and checking out the local foods. we LOVE a good Fish and Chips and would love to check out that place you recommended!
I love exploring with you! Everything looks so beautiful and green. Love the Abby and all those stairs. I definitely would have loved to sit on that bench. and the bird on Capt Cook was priceless with great timing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place...reminds me a bit of Tallinn, Estonia. The food looks so good! Stay well!
Thank you! Ha yes, there are plenty of seagulls around so I guess it was only a matter of time until one sat on his head 😀 We haven't been to Tallinn but would definitely like to. Thank you for watching!
Whitby looks so beautiful and so historic. So interesting to hear about the connection to "Dracula" and the novel. Captain Cook and the info you give is incredible ad never knew all of this about the area. The food and drink looks awesome and once again the info you give is incredible. Thank you for this and love watching your videos. ONE LOVE
Delighted to subscribe to your excellent channel! We're lucky to live approx 30 miles from Whitby and so, over the past 55+ years I've visited at least twice every year. Love the Gothic connection with Bram Stoker (currently listening to the audiobook of 'Something in the Blood' by David J. Skal). Keep up the great work and best wishes for 2021.
Thanks very much, and welcome to the channel! The gothic connection really makes Whitby stand out, it's such a beautiful and interesting seaside town. I can see why you visit so frequently. That audiobook sounds like a great way to get you in the mood for your next trip! As you are 30 miles from Whitby you might also be interested in a video we have on York coming up soon - York is another one of our Yorkshire favourites! 😊
Thank you! Yes I agree, it would definitely be a good place for Halloween! They do have ghost walks, although we didn't have the chance to join one this trip
@@OurTravelPlace I would love to do a ghost walk! I actually used to live in a haunted house when I was a child so I got plenty of creepy nights as it is though haha
Hey you two! Wow! That view is definitely worth 199 steps! The Abbey is beautiful too... I loved visiting historical places places like this. Owe... I love the short boat ride. Even if it is short... it's only 4 pounds.. so, that's not bad. Oh, I love the lighthouses too! YUM! Fish and chips... it looks delicious! Will definitely have to remember that place. The pie looks delicious! Another great tour... you always create beautiful videos!! Loved it.
When I saw this I had to click! We have a "Whitby" here in Ontario (the next town over from me) but it is not as scenic or pretty as your Whitby! Thanks for sharing :)
Haha oh really?! I didn't realise there was another Whitby actually until tagging up this video and Whitby Ontario kept popping up! Thanks for watching 🙂
You guys highlighted soo many options! I like that there are roman numerals on the stairs to keep track. The chirping comment about the birds had me laughing. We would definitely want to visit that brewery! Great video 😊
Haha, in my mind seagulls are too loud and abrasive to be described as chirping 😂 Yes, there's plenty to do in Whitby, especially given that it's only small... we didn't even manage to cover everything! Thanks for watching
nice upload, just great presentation. I hope one day, that i'll visit there , all are very unique , thanks for sharing of it. L 68 Many greetings from Germany!
Another amazing video! That Abbey look so cool and love all of the facts. The beaches were also really pretty - agree it would be a great walk. Robin Hood's Bay was also really cool - will have to check out that video too. Thanks for sharing!
@@OurTravelPlace Well....there was something nice to watch..that's all🙂 Even more...subscribe myself on your chanell...looks prity promising..informative....realy nice to look on All the best from Cr🌞atia 🍀
The Dracula Experience & The Abbey are two things you must do when visiting Whitby especially if you love the story of Dracula. I have done some videos from a recent trip there.
Jeeh. I wouldn’t want to be shifting a coffin up to that graveyard. Such a wonderful view for the deceased .lol 🤷♀️ Whitby is on our bucket list of places to visit. It’s incredibly beautiful. And so rich in history. That caterpillar 😆 Oh my all the food alone is a valid reason to visit Whitby 🤤 🖤
the cutting scene looked scary specially with the hand just in the table , but i bet a the end a nice dinner and wine was all worth it , good video my griend
The weather can be hard to predict... not exactly beach weather but still plenty to do in October! It's goth weekend towards the end of the month too i think

@@DS-cf1zc "As an idea - why not take large bothams rolls and cakes, walk to RBH, and do Silver street when you get back." - yes, I love this suggestion - any excuse to try plenty of food! :D
Great photo, pretty cool to see that on the Saltwick Bay walk. Thanks for the info about tide times, I think we set off a bit late.
Itching to get my walking boots back on now with these suggestions! :)
Wonderful guide and showcase of the best of Whitby. Lots of valuable information provided. Ahh... Captain Cook - we were on the big island of Hawaii years ago and snorkeled by the shore where Captain Cook was killed by natives. There is a monument there. Thanks for sharing and have a great day 😀👍
oh interesting, I'll have to google that moment! Thanks for watching 🙂
Absolutely amazing place .. I wish I could go there for next holidays
I'm sure you'll be able to visit soon!
Cool town. Just saw a map ot haunted places in England and I'm looking at all of them.
Oh cool, I'd be interested to see that map! I bet there's loads of places on there 😃
Indeed it was tiring carrying coffins up the 199 steps, you'll notice benches set to the side as you walk up, those are not just there to rest your weary feet, but were in fact placed there to rest the coffins to give the pallbearer's a break on their way to the top...!!
They must have been very welcome! That's interesting, thanks for the extra information 🙂👍
Really interesting video - Whitby looks great! If we make our way up that way, I'll definitely revisit this video for things to do while we're there 😊
Thanks! There's so much to do here, it's really popular for good reason 🙂 Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you so much for this video. My friend and I were scheduled to visit the UK last May but of course, the trip was postponed because of COVID-19. Hopefully next year. I've been in love with Whitby since reading the novel Dracula when I was in eighth grade. It looks as if it's a beautiful place in so many ways.
Oh it is beautiful with plenty to see and do, you have made a great choice for your trip! Where else in the UK are you planning to visit? Fingers crossed your trip can go ahead next year!
This area is so beautiful! Definitely have to add this to our list of places to visit in the future! -Amanda
You should, it's lovely! 😊
Nice.
Brilliant! Thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching!
Fabulously presented. Well informative and beautifully filmed
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
This looks like it'd be such a wonderful place to visit!
It is! 🙂
Never knew there were such cool places to visit in the UK! Cant wait to get there one day. What an incredible vessel! What was the price? sorry if you mentioned and we missed. Harbors, piers, cafes and restaurants are all looking awesome
Not sure if you mean the boat trip or the endeavour, but the boat trip was £4 and the endeavour was £5. Whitby is a great place in the UK to go... my favourite English seaside town I've visited so far!
I live in Nottingham I go there at least 3 5 times a year it’s brilliant I can’t stop eating the fish and chips in abbey wharf I stayed in a apartment chiniese type of one
I don't think we've tried their fish and chips yet. There's just so many good options for fish and chips in Whitby! 🤤
Such a cool area! The boat museum was lovely! Food looks 😋 yummy! Love the buildings!
Ha yes, we had a LOT of good food in Whitby! Agree about the buildings, there is a lot of awesome architecture here. Thanks for watching!
Aww Whitby is nice and tranquil and very haunted x
👻
Thanks for this tour of what to do in WHITBY. It is such a stunning place and right along the water which makes it extra cool! Love that you created this Travel Guide with some must do places. Really makes us want to go visit. Definitely a stunning place with the ruins and the museum. Whitby beach looks really nice too but yes, right now is too cold to go swimming! I think the biggest highlight for us would probably going to the restaurant and cafes and checking out the local foods. we LOVE a good Fish and Chips and would love to check out that place you recommended!
They were definitely good fish and chips... there's plenty of it around in Whitby! Lots of other good food choices too 🙂 Thanks for watching!
@@OurTravelPlace No problem! We love anything like that. You should check out our London Trip, we have like so many fish and chips it was crazy.
@@exploreaswego I have actually already watched your London food tour...love a good food video!
I love exploring with you! Everything looks so beautiful and green. Love the Abby and all those stairs. I definitely would have loved to sit on that bench. and the bird on Capt Cook was priceless with great timing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place...reminds me a bit of Tallinn, Estonia. The food looks so good! Stay well!
Thank you! Ha yes, there are plenty of seagulls around so I guess it was only a matter of time until one sat on his head 😀 We haven't been to Tallinn but would definitely like to. Thank you for watching!
The fact that I’ve been to almost every Restaurant/Café you showed in this video…. 😮
Excellent, hope you've had some good meals 😄👍
This video really helped us plan our trip to Whitby. We found the boat trip especially useful. Cheers for sharing 🍻
That's great to hear, I'm glas you found it helpful! I hope you had a lovely trip to Whitby (and found a good place for that pint) 🙂
What a beautiful place 🤩. Great work guys. I loved it 👏
Whitby looks so beautiful and so historic. So interesting to hear about the connection to "Dracula" and the novel. Captain Cook and the info you give is incredible ad never knew all of this about the area. The food and drink looks awesome and once again the info you give is incredible. Thank you for this and love watching your videos. ONE LOVE
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😀 Yes, the connections to dracula are really interesting! It's such a great spot to visit. Thanks for watching!
Interesting!

Oh guys! I love how much I learn from watching you. Big thumbs up from us. Lots of great ideas in this video. - Jo
Thank you, what a nice comment! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Delighted to subscribe to your excellent channel! We're lucky to live approx 30 miles from Whitby and so, over the past 55+ years I've visited at least twice every year. Love the Gothic connection with Bram Stoker (currently listening to the audiobook of 'Something in the Blood' by David J. Skal).
Keep up the great work and best wishes for 2021.
Thanks very much, and welcome to the channel! The gothic connection really makes Whitby stand out, it's such a beautiful and interesting seaside town. I can see why you visit so frequently. That audiobook sounds like a great way to get you in the mood for your next trip! As you are 30 miles from Whitby you might also be interested in a video we have on York coming up soon - York is another one of our Yorkshire favourites! 😊
Great job on the narration! The perfect place to visit for Halloween! ;)
Thank you! Yes I agree, it would definitely be a good place for Halloween! They do have ghost walks, although we didn't have the chance to join one this trip
@@OurTravelPlace I would love to do a ghost walk! I actually used to live in a haunted house when I was a child so I got plenty of creepy nights as it is though haha
No way, that must have been terrifying! (but also kind of cool)
Hey you two! Wow! That view is definitely worth 199 steps! The Abbey is beautiful too... I loved visiting historical places places like this. Owe... I love the short boat ride. Even if it is short... it's only 4 pounds.. so, that's not bad. Oh, I love the lighthouses too! YUM! Fish and chips... it looks delicious! Will definitely have to remember that place. The pie looks delicious! Another great tour... you always create beautiful videos!! Loved it.
Thank you! Agree, for £4 it doesn't matter if the boat ride is short, it's worth it! Thank you for watching 🙂
When I saw this I had to click! We have a "Whitby" here in Ontario (the next town over from me) but it is not as scenic or pretty as your Whitby! Thanks for sharing :)
Haha oh really?! I didn't realise there was another Whitby actually until tagging up this video and Whitby Ontario kept popping up! Thanks for watching 🙂
Great video ☺️👍🏻
Definitely adding these to our list when we visit, looking forward to the next video!
Thank you! Glad this helped you with your trip planning 🙂
That is a beautiful quaint down. Very cool they have a seaside musium too. LIKE #39 my friends. Very nice. 👍👍👍👍
Yes, the museums we visited were really interesting! Thanks for watching
England is on our Bucketlist!! This video will be very useful when we visit. Well done 👍🏻
Yes, if you can incorporate the north into your itinerary then Whitby is a good option! Thanks for watching 🙂
Awesome video! You're very talented! You are very good and have given me a lot of inspiration.
Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful place! Thanks for the tour. Big Like + full view. Have a wonderful week!
You guys highlighted soo many options! I like that there are roman numerals on the stairs to keep track.
The chirping comment about the birds had me laughing.
We would definitely want to visit that brewery! Great video 😊
Haha, in my mind seagulls are too loud and abrasive to be described as chirping 😂 Yes, there's plenty to do in Whitby, especially given that it's only small... we didn't even manage to cover everything! Thanks for watching
nice upload, just great presentation. I hope one day, that i'll visit there , all are very unique , thanks for sharing of it. L 68

Oh it is great, you should visit when you can! Thanks for watching
Another amazing video! That Abbey look so cool and love all of the facts. The beaches were also really pretty - agree it would be a great walk. Robin Hood's Bay was also really cool - will have to check out that video too. Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful place. I want one of those skull mugs! Haha
Haha, not going to lie, I was tempted by those! 😀
The Dracula Experience & The Abbey are two things you must do when visiting Whitby especially if you love the story of Dracula. I have done some videos from a recent trip there.
Wow amazing places! Thanks for the great video and helpful tips!
Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching
Fresh Whitby fish ,

Jeeh. I wouldn’t want to be shifting a coffin up to that graveyard. Such a wonderful view for the deceased .lol 🤷♀️
Whitby is on our bucket list of places to visit. It’s incredibly beautiful. And so rich in history.
That caterpillar 😆
Oh my all the food alone is a valid reason to visit Whitby 🤤
🖤
Oh you should definitely visit one day when travel is easier! There's so much to see and do, you could easily spend a few days in the area.
HI5 buddy! Fantastic & cool video-log!
Thank you! 😀

I am coming up to hike in Whitby with HF., 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Have a great time! What hike are you doing?
the cutting scene looked scary specially with the hand just in the table , but i bet a the end a nice dinner and wine was all worth it , good video my griend
It was a bit gross! A very interesting museum though 🙂👍 Thanks for watching!
Good videos! Keep up the good work.... I Subscribed!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them, and welcome to the channel!
Tks for yr nice introduction on Whitby's trip. How come if the weather is okay if i go there in October?
The weather can be hard to predict... not exactly beach weather but still plenty to do in October! It's goth weekend towards the end of the month too i think
U can just climb the wall to get in the Abbey very easy qnd saves you 11 pound
Doing some preemptive Dracula research before Romania? Hopefully? One day? Gosh darn covid!!!
Oooh geeze, 100 types of gin!!!!
Sadly I was not able to try all of the gins, but the ones I did try were great! 😀
Ahh Romania, one day....
Was it intentional to say St Mary's Church was founded in 1110 at 11.10 am?
Haha, I wish I could say it was but no, that was a fluke 😄 Good spot!
Musste mir das video wegen schule reinziehen lol
