Whitby Abbey 

SUITABLE FOR

Adults

Join Yorkshire Blue Badge Guide Sarah Milne-Day on a tour of the iconic town of Whitby.

Starting at the spectacular Gothic ruined Abbey, we will head down the famous 199 steps into the picturesque town and harbour to discover all about the history, industry and characters hidden in the winding alleys that make this such a fascinating place. From Dracula to polar bears via Captain Cook and Alice in Wonderland, there are secrets to be discovered around every corner.

This tour is graded as challenging access, as it is a walking tour with steep terrain and few places to stop and sit down.

Bookings will open for this event on this page on Tuesday 13 October at 9am.
