The coastliner bus route between Pickering and Whitby is one of the best bus routes I have ever been on.
It gives a wonderful introduction to the beauty and bleakness of the Yorkshire Moors National Park as it makes it way past the spectacular Hole of Horcum, through Flyingdales Moor and down into Goathload where you go over the Yorkshire Moors steam railway and Goathland station. The final thrill is the hair raising descent down Blue Bank which brings you abruptly down into Whitby. The sea and Whitby glisten invitingly before you as you see the view of Whitby abbey, the town and the North Sea spread before you at the top of Blue Bank.
Just hop on the Coastliner bus as it stops outside York railway station.

You can get the Coastliner from Leeds or York. Make sure you get the 840 service for Whitby. At the top of Blue Bank you can see Whitby, but the next town is Sleights.
Is this your business?
