Hi there - Whitby cognoscenti!

It's many, many years since I went to Whitby, and all I remember is the abbey up on the hill on one side of the river. I want to book 1-2 nights B&B, and would like to know which side of the river is best. Any other info on well-positioned B&Bs would be welcome.

Thanks.

I will be in Whitby for 7 days in late April. Does anyone know of any day trips to the lake district from there?

My friend and I are coming to Whitby in early June. What is the cheapest way of getting to Whitby by train? Some of the trains I've looked at have scary prices...

Can any locals give me any info on Abbey gael festival and cheap and cheerful b and b accommodation for 3 persons (family 2xM 1xF)or places to errect a tent or park an estate care for overnite stay.

B and B will need to accommdate late entry access due to concert not finishing til early hours of 24th.(Saw Doctors fan - last act on stage)

First time visitor - any info around this event appreciated Private message responses welcome - ken@celebritysweepstake.co.uk

I was planning to take the coach from York to Whitby, go back to York, and the next day take a train up to Durham. But I would be easier to make this trip a triangle: take the coach to Whitby, go to Durham and then take the train back to York. However, I couldn't find any train for the Whitby-Durham leg. National Express also has no direct coach.
Does anyone know if there is some other public transportation between the two towns?
Thank you for any information.

Hi, I will be based in whitby for 6 months in 2005. I would like as much info about this area, what I should and shouldnt do, all that sort of thing. Im a virgin traveller and at this moment finding quite daunting, hopefully this will pass and excitement wil set in. Is the accent quite thick or will I be able to understand this fine? coming from Australia to Whitby in april should I pack heavy clothing or mddle or light? Thanks for your help. Cheers
