A day trip guide to Whitby, a hidden gem in the UK

There's such a treasure of a seaside town near York, UK! I really like Whitby and the town of Saltburn Especially on a sunny day, it's great for taking pictures📸 The two towns are very close, about half an hour's drive You can also visit Robin Hood's Bay Seaside town day trip vacation🌊 ✨Day trip guide ✅Whitby As the birthplace of Dracula, Whitby is also known as the hometown of vampires. ✨Whitby Abbey The first stop is Whitby's landmark - Whitby Abbey. Whitby Abbey was built between the 11th and 14th centuries. Today, the ruined building faces the east coast of England, with a whole cemetery facing the sea, the Gothic church beams reflecting the blue sky, full of desolation. You can drive to the Abbey, or climb 199 steps from the town to the main entrance, overlooking the whole town from the top of the hill, the scenery is beautiful! ✨Whitby Harbour After visiting the Abbey, you can stroll around the town, don't miss the no1 fish and chips here🍟 The whole of Whitby along the coast is scenic, especially the two long piers of the harbour, all the way there are various cafes and local specialty shops~ If you have time, you can also visit the Captain Cook Museum, Whitby is also the starting point of Captain Cook's voyage~ ✅Saltburn-By-The-Sea Half an hour's drive and you'll arrive at this town I love! ✨Colourful Houses There's a row of colourful houses by the beach in this seaside resort town🌈 Facing the Atlantic in a line, it's great for taking pictures! There are many snack bars and cafes along the beach, eating and drinking along the way, enjoying the leisurely holiday time~ ✨Saltburn Cliff Lift The most popular place in the town is probably the cliff lift here🚡 The best photo spot is on top of the lift, overlooking the entire red lift station from the hillside, with the Atlantic Ocean in the background, it's a magnificent sight.

Admire the beauty of the abbey in Whitby!

By far the best abbey I ever visited! If you do come here, best to come before 4 as they close at 5pm. 1 hour is a tad too short. I’ll recommend 1.5hours at least because at the end, you can go down to a center nearby where they sell souvenirs. You’d be awed by the beautiful architecture and how it was preserved for the longest time. In one corner of the abbey, you can oversee the Whitby Beach. Beautiful scenery istg. Highly recommend for anyone coming to the UK! 📍 Whitby Abbey Abbey Ln, Whitby YO22 4JT, United Kingdom #wecreate #exploreuk #northyork #abbey #tripblazers #historicallandmark #wheretogoinyork #urbanexplorer
