Things to do in and around Whitby

[SummerHouse]

We have a holiday booked in July. I am shameless starting this thread as I love Whitby so much and just want to talk about it. I am really looking forward to this and it feels like it's been a year since I looked forward to anything.

We go every year and tend to do the same things but it would be lovely to add a few different activities / excursions.

Here's what we do;
We always swim in the sea (not for everyone it's fecking freezing).
199 steps
Fossil beach (spend hours looking for fossils)
Scarborough swimming pool
Botham's bakery (daily)
Fish and chips (also daily)
Arcade
Visit other places (Saltburn, Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes)

Any other recommendations...

Spent a day there last year for first time and going back this year for three days as we liked it so much. Following thread with interest. My favourite but was while DH and kids trekked up to the Abbey, I sat between the shops and the sea, on the cliff/pavement and just enjoyed the sun and watched the boats/people. Loved it.

Heaven!

Dalby forest is beautiful. Your bits would love the Go Ape there! Pickering is a pretty little village and has a market on a Monday.

Do the train from Grosmont (engine sheds are a must) to Goathland (aka Hogsmede Station), lunch at the cafe at the far end of the main street and then either walk back to Grosmont or there's a nice walk from opposite the garage that goes across the fields to the church, and then back on the train.

Beacon Farm ice cream parlour in Sneaton.

Scalby Mills and the Sea Life Centre Scarborough

The North Bay of Bridlington with its new Leisure Centre and mini Fairground.

Filey and Filey Brigg

Flamborough head with both its Lighthouses.

Flambrough head is stunning at low tide

Old town Bridlington, lovely Georgian centre and great antique shops, Brad is a shit hole though.

Malton

Hire/take bikes and cycle along the Cinder track towards Ravenscar...all off road along the old railway track and stunning views,

Walk at the Hole of Horcum, or to the Bridestones.

It's been mentioned before, but boggle Hole is a nice little cove near Robin Hoods Bay. You can fossil hunt and there is a youth hostel right on the beach where you can have a coffee and cake.
If you are looking for something to do in the evening, the ghost walk in Whitby is good fun.
