Whitby is not just a coastal town, this coastal town is full of history.

It has a famous abbey, connections to Captain Cook, and hosts amazing festivals.

The stunning views of the town, you can spot all sorts of attractions and the sandy beaches. I took a visit here, to show you why we love Whitby in North Yorkshire.

Whitby Abbey is famous for not just the ruins and history of the grounds, but also for where Bram Stoker was inspired to write Dracula and looking over the town of Whitby.

You can enjoy a full day here in Whitby and you can’t leave without trying their famous fish and chips.

If you enjoy steam trains, there is The North Yorkshire Moors Railway which takes you to Whitby train stations.

Not far away from the busy town centre, there are lovely coastal walks that take you into the countryside if you enjoy a quieter experience.

Just so slightly away from the busy York city centre, sits Rowntrees Park. Given to the public, this park has many things to do here. It has been awarded a green flag award every year since 2014 and is looked after by the friends of Rowntrees Park.

The park has lots of quirky features around every corner, including sculptures of roman helmets. You can walk along the pond or walk through the park and see their many facilities they offer.

When reaching the end of the park you will be able to see Millennium Bridge which takes you to the other side of the river. There are also river walks that eventually takes you to the next village.  You might be able to spot the local wildlife on the way including the local Otters.

Aysgarth Falls is on the lower side of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. It has amazing waterfalls and stunning landscapes.

It’s on the river Ure, and there’s lots of wildlife to see. The rock pools here are a good way to discover insects and wildlife.

When arriving, you can see the visitors centre, with lots of history to read. There is a cafe in the building as well. Walking on the trail can take you in a few different directions. One to the waterfalls and the other is a walk through the woods to Bolton Castle.

The trail takes you on a scenic walk of the Yorkshire Dales. From the car park, it is just a short walk to the local town, with shops, cafes and restaurants.

Scarborough is a beachside town in North Yorkshire. Many people choose to come on holiday and visit here every year. There are so many attractions to choose from, and many beaches to pick. I took a trip to show you why people love it so much.

The beach front arcades and 2p machines are great fun and it brings me back to when I was a child, trying to win the toy at the very edge.

You can buy local fish from the front and even buy rods and nets to do your own crab fishing.
The local fish and chips shops are amazing with fresh fish cooking that was caught that day.

Knaresborough is a historic market town in North Yorkshire, and I discovered many of its hidden surprises here. From the castle to the pretty riverside, I show you some of the most popular and maybe secrets of the town.

Thousands of visitors come here every year for great experiences. Mother Shipton’s Cave is a must visit and the walk to the cave along the river is stunning.

If you are into exploring, the castle has secret underground passageways and has seating areas inside the cliff side. The Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag is only a short walk away from the castle, and it’s a great historical spot to see.

There are also great cafes and restaurants in Knaresborough, from tradition cuisines to worldly.
