Une vieille ville g\u00e9orgienne pav\u00e9e en bord de mer et un magnifique port sur la c\u00f4te est du Yorkshire, v\u00e9ritable joyau du littoral du Yorkshire, \u00e0 76 km au nord de York. Ce port de p\u00eache a vu le jour au Moyen \u00c2ge, accueillant des flottes de p\u00eache au hareng et de chasse \u00e0 la baleine, et c'est l\u00e0 que le capitaine Cook a appris l'art de la navigation.
\nThe town\u2019s east cliff is home to the impressive ruins of Whitby Abbey. Other significant attractions include the swing bridge which crosses the River Esk and the harbor, the statues of Captain Cook, the West Pier Lighthouse, and the whalebone arch that sits at the top of the West Cliff.<\/p>\n
When in Whitby do not miss a Whale Watching Experience, sailing out of the town’s harbor.
\nWatch the minke and humpback whales along with white-beaked dolphins and porpoise. 5 km north of town enjoy Sandsend, a long stretch of golden sand beach, a picturesque place to picnic.<\/p>\n
South of Whitby, through to Saltwick bay and Ravenscar, you will find the 12 km rugged Dinosaur Coast. This coastline is the best location in northern England to look for Jurassic fossils, dinosaur footprints, and to explore different wildlife in the rock pools.<\/p>\n
On the coast stretch between Robin Hood’s Bay Ravenscar, you will be mesmerized by the majestic cliffs and sheltered harbors of the National Park coast.<\/p>\n\n
