Away from the hustle and bustle of the harbourside, Whitby hoards a secret treasure. A labyrinth of alleyways and yards, some rarely seen by tourists, lie just behind the well-trodden lanes.
Whitby’s yards were once an important extension to crowded, multi-family homes. But where slum back-to-back houses stood, now gardens or well-kept yards are the private privilege of beautifully renovated homes and cottages – an unexpected oasis of tranquillity for your stay.
