The famous English seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough in North Yorkshire, and its association with the explorer Captain Cook is close to the North York Moors of Northern England which are a beautiful and relatively unspoilt area of England and a great place for a relaxing holiday. It is becoming quite a place for boating, yachting and sea-fishing, since very few trawlers can make a living these days. On the coast is Sandsend beach, Staithes harbour (a favourite for artists), fossil hunting at Ravenscar on the Jurassic dinosaur cliffs and the coastal picturesque villages of Runswick Bay and Robin Hoods Bay, both of which are perched on the cliffs of the Cleveland Way. Whitby has its 'Dracula' week, Folk Music Festival and a replica of Captain Cook's ship, the Endeavour.  Not far away is the village of Goathland which is famous for the North Yorkshire Moors steam railway and Yorkshire TV's 1960's based series "Heartbeat". There are lots of self-catering holiday cottages for renting-letting, bed and breakfast places,  chalets, lodges for rent-lets, farmhouses and hotels to stay in. BUT most of the area is relatively unspoilt, where you can do lots of lovely walking and other outdoor interests in moorland and dales etc. For those can afford it, lots of properties for sale or rent, but property prices for first or second homes are rising as everywhere else, particularly in attractive villages. I hope the site provides a series of pictures and images that make you want to visit Whitby.
