Freedom Break at Whitby

View larger map

Freedom Breaks offer a flexible way to enjoy some of Britain's most scenic areas.

Whitby is a charming harbour town with a rich seafaring tradition. The town sits at the mouth of the Esk Valley, between the high cliffs of the Yorkshire coast, and is dominated by its ruined abbey on the headland above. The surrounding North York Moors has a great variety of natural beauty, industrial archaeology and religious heritage.

Highlights of your stay could include:

• Whitby’s bustling harbour - climb the town’s famous steps, with their Dracula connections, to the ruined abbey on the headland
• The Whitby to Scarborough cycle trail, adjacent to Larpool Hall, offers miles of traffic-free cycling and beautiful coastal views
• Walks on the North York Moors - the ‘Heartbeat’ village of Goathland, the Moors escarpment to the Wainstones and the shapely peak of Roseberry Topping
• Bracing cliff-top walks to the quaint fishing villages of Staithes and Robin Hood’s Bay
• Flamingoland - the UK's largest privately owned theme park with over a hundred attractions from the mildest to the wildest
• The Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, home to the renowned playwright Alan Ackbourn, with two theatres, a restaurant and shop
