Go GREEN for a week (or more) - leave your car behind

Day 1.     Walk The Waverley Way – Our very own walk starting and finishing at The Waverley. Take anything from 2 hours to all day to discover the sights, sounds and smells of Whitby. You will probably see things that you haven’t noticed before and learn more about some that you have. For example why does the man aloft in the crow’s nest near the Tourist Information Centre look as though he has just let go of 2 pints of beer? Was the yard off of Church Street really the site of so many disputes?

 

Day 2.     Take a bus to Robin Hood’s Bay or Runswick Bay and walk the 7 or so miles back into Whitby along the coastal path (or vice versa) – feeling energetic? Do both!! Enjoy the views from the bus which you would not normally get from your car.
