    A trip to Whitby Abbey

    Posted by YorkshireTravel 23 January 2009

    Whitby as a stunning place to visit on a day when the weather is nice. Atop the cliffs, next to the sea, you will find incredible views and historic Whitby Abbey.

    A tour around the abbey will cost you a small some. However, for a family day out it is well worth while. There are usually exhibitions on show in the building outside the walls of the Abbey. Also, the history of the Abbey is given here, so it is very educational for the kids.

    The ruins are quite well maintained and safe. They are beautiful on a lovely summers day. Although they can get busy during peak season.

    The views to be had over the top of the cliffs and out over the North Sea are also amazing.

    Whitby North Yorkshire. Once you are in the town, just follow the signs up the cliffs. Or you can park nearby and walk around the Abbey's walls. www.hotels-uk-accommodation.co.uk/north-yorkshire/whitby-abbey/
