Whitby, the seaside town!

Whitby! A seaside town and port situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of River Esk. The skyline of Whitby is dominated by the ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey, high on Whitby's East Cliff, while a maze of narrow streets and alleyways spreads below Whitby to the busy quayside.

Obviously, you are not completing your trip to Whitby without getting a bite on the Fish & Chips in this town! There are two very famous restaurant which sells the best seafood in town, Magpie and Quayside. We bought our Fish & Chips from Magpie, and there's two types of fish to choose from, cod or haddock. As I've never tried haddock, so I chose it, it turns out I made a good decision, it was.... HUGE, and it's so fresh that you can actually taste the sweetness of the fish. *Drooling*

Friends were queuing for the Fish & Chips at Magpie

Yummy! Huge piece of fish!

There's one thing you have to beware of when you're enjoying your precious lunch in Whitby, the seagullssssss... We were told to becareful of them, as they will fly to us and grab our lovely fish away.

Say peace to this Seagull.

If you walk to the very end of the mouth of River Esk, you will see two beautiful lighthouses located side by side. These two lighthouses are positioned East and West piers to act as the illuminated navigational aids.

So we had our lunch on the Whitby's West Cliff, while enjoying the beautiful scenery from there. Besides, on top of Whitby's West Cliff, you will find the famous Whale Bone Arch which was erected in 1853, as that time Whitby was an important whaling town.

A group photo after lunch, nice view isn't it?

Walking around Whitby's West Cliff beach will also lead you to these colorful beach huts that located along the shore where they were rented out to tourist to put their belongings.

Finally, we switched our exploration to Whitby's East Cliff. If you're looking for souvenirs from Whitby, this will be the right thing to get here, Whitby Lucky Ducks! They were designed with different color according to month of birth, and also there is one will change its color along with the humidity in the air.

One and only Lucky Ducks Store

Ignore the Minions, these are the Lucky Ducks I got for myself...! Haha

Finally, we climbed up to the top of Whitby's East Cliff, and the very first tradition building we saw here is the St. Mary Church which surrounded by lots and lots of tombstone accompanied with the strongest wind that we ever had during our day trip in UK. It's creeeepy! Lol

Last but not least, the must-not-be-missed attraction in Whitby, the Whitby Abbey, located on top of the cliff. Entrance fees are need if you want to explore it thoroughly, however, we thought it would be enough for us to see it from the outside.

Whitby Abbey!

Jump jump jump!
