The Local Area

Fish & Chips

Famous for fish & chips, Whitby boasts a few favourite restaurants. Our favourite might be Trenchers, but why not try them all during your visit? Best eaten out of the paper while looking over the sea!

Historic Whitby

Frida’s cottage is located in the heart of Whitby, North Yorkshire. A haven for beach lovers, bibliophiles and the Gothic inclined. The cottage is a five minute walk from the stunning beach, a couple of doors from the famous Botham’s bakery, and very close to the traditional shopping area. Whitby thrives with independent shops, artists , bars and eateries.

The Abbey

A vast, historically significant part of the Whitby skyline, our 1500 year old Gothic ruin is a must-see when you visit!

Scale the 199 steps for stunning coastal views while you take in the Grade 1 listed ruins. Don’t forget to get yourself an ice cream when you reach the top - you’ve earned it with those stairs!
