Our North Yorkshire children love Fish & Chips as a treat! So many of them write about trips to Whitby on the heritage coastline.

It’s full of history from Captain Cook and the Endeavour to Bram Stoker’s Dracula There are two festivals inspired by Whitby’s literary history in Spring and Hallowe’en.

Whitby is part of the Scarborough Council local authority area. This famous town lies in the North East of our county and it’s close to Heartbeat country.
