Whitby is famous for its links to Dracula, and the Gothic abbey and graveyard tower 199 steps above the town. The climb is worth the effort just to take in the fantastic views of the town and out to sea. Many events and festivals take place all year round such as the Goth Weekender, Folk Week, Whitby Regatta, Steampunk festivals and many music events. 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.

Silver 6pence is fabulous property located in a quiet cal-de-sac which is 5 min walk to the Promenade/beach and 10 mins to the town.The property is very comfy and tastefully decorated. Everything that you need is there. It is very dog friendly and clean. There’s a huge bonus for dog owners, and that’s the large grass area at the rear of the property accessed through the garden gate.If you’re looking for well equipped lovely property with private car parking and close to all amenities, then you can’t go wrong with this one. We’ll be going back.

An excellent location with walking access to the town and great facilities if you take dogs with the old railway line outside the back gate.
