Description
One of the most picturesque ports in England, Whitby and its
harbour are set in a ravine at the mouth of the River Esk.
Dominated by the clifftop ruined Abbey, the narrow alleys
and quaint streets climb down to the busy quayside, with its
harbourside houses and small shops filled with crafts,
curios, and antiques. From these centuries old streets, 199
steps lead up to the parish Church of St Mary, one of the
finest Anglo Saxon churches in the country, featuring carved
pews made by ship’s carpenters and craftsmen
