Seaside town day trip vacation🌊
✨Day trip guide
✅Whitby
As the birthplace of Dracula, Whitby is also known as the hometown of vampires.
✨Whitby Abbey
The first stop is Whitby's landmark - Whitby Abbey.
Whitby Abbey was built between the 11th and 14th centuries. Today, the ruined building faces the east coast of England, with a whole cemetery facing the sea, the Gothic church beams reflecting the blue sky, full of desolation.
You can drive to the Abbey, or climb 199 steps from the town to the main entrance, overlooking the whole town from the top of the hill, the scenery is beautiful!
✨Whitby Harbour
After visiting the Abbey, you can stroll around the town, don't miss the no1 fish and chips here🍟
The whole of Whitby along the coast is scenic, especially the two long piers of the harbour, all the way there are various cafes and local specialty shops~
If you have time, you can also visit the Captain Cook Museum, Whitby is also the starting point of Captain Cook's voyage~
✅Saltburn-By-The-Sea
Half an hour's drive and you'll arrive at this town I love!
✨Colourful Houses
There's a row of colourful houses by the beach in this seaside resort town🌈
Facing the Atlantic in a line, it's great for taking pictures!
There are many snack bars and cafes along the beach, eating and drinking along the way, enjoying the leisurely holiday time~
✨Saltburn Cliff Lift
The most popular place in the town is probably the cliff lift here🚡
The best photo spot is on top of the lift, overlooking the entire red lift station from the hillside, with the Atlantic Ocean in the background, it's a magnificent sight.
Admire the beauty of the abbey in Whitby!
By far the best abbey I ever visited! If you do come here, best to come before 4 as they close at 5pm. 1 hour is a tad too short. I’ll recommend 1.5hours at least because at the end, you can go down to a center nearby where they sell souvenirs.
You’d be awed by the beautiful architecture and how it was preserved for the longest time. In one corner of the abbey, you can oversee the Whitby Beach. Beautiful scenery istg.
Highly recommend for anyone coming to the UK!

A Gothic Sentinel Overlooking Yorkshire's Sea
Marvelled at the commanding presence of Whitby Abbey, where Gothic spires reached skyward against the backdrop of the North Sea. "Clifftop Reverie" unfolded as the ruins whispered tales of centuries past, overlooking the charming town below. The rhythmic waves provided a timeless soundtrack to the atmospheric panorama. Whitby Abbey, not just a relic of history, but a majestic guardian perched atop the cliffs, embodying the enduring spirit of Whitby's maritime legacy. A journey to Whitby Abbey, where the echoes of time meet the crashing waves, offering a glimpse into the haunting beauty of this coastal masterpiece. #WhitbyAbbeyGothicSentinel 🏰🌅

Peasholm Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Peasholm Park 🇬🇧
#timetotravel
My visit to Peasholm Park in the UK was a serene escape into nature's tranquility. Nestled in the heart of Scarborough, this enchanting park welcomed me with its lush landscapes, tranquil lake, and Japanese-themed gardens. As I strolled along the winding paths, admired the ornate bridges, and watched the model naval battles on the lake, a sense of calm and relaxation enveloped me. The park's location in the bustling town of Scarborough made it a peaceful oasis that offered respite from the daily hustle. It wasn't just a park; it was a harmonious blend of beauty and serenity, inviting me to unwind by the water, take leisurely boat rides, and appreciate the artistry of the gardens, leaving me captivated by its idyllic ambiance and the sense of escape it provided from the outside world.
Peasholm Park
We visited Peasholm Park on our trip to Scarborough. It’s located at North Bay. Ride the dragon boats , check out the beautiful waterfall or just enjoy the oriental scene at the park.

Whitby Harbour East Lighthouse Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
🏰 Whitby Harbour East Lighthouse 🌊
Admired the timeless beauty of Whitby Harbour East Lighthouse, where its steadfast beacon has illuminated Yorkshire's coastline for generations. "Seaside Sentinel" unfolded as the lighthouse stood tall against the crashing waves, guiding ships with its unwavering glow. The maritime tales whispered by the North Sea breeze added a nostalgic touch to the coastal panorama. Whitby Harbour East Lighthouse, not just a navigational aid but a resilient guardian that has witnessed the ebb and flow of time along the picturesque shores of Whitby. #WhitbyLighthouseMaritimeCharm 🌅🇬🇧#2024wish

Came here for archaeological purposes
Unexpectedly amazed by this seaside town🌊
The place where the male and female protagonists first dated, many familiar scenes
The sunny day is really a hundred times more beautiful than in the movie☀️

🌊Robin Hood's Bay
🚗Self-driving from York for 1.5h, 15 minutes to Whitby
There are two parking lots in the town🅿️, the one opposite the Victoria Hotel is closer, but there are fewer parking spaces, if it is full, you can go to the Station Car Park a few hundred meters away
✨One-day tour guide
✅The Victoria Hotel
At the starting point of the pedestrian area, because it is high on the hillside, the view is very good and you can overlook the entire bay~ The hotel's open-air lawn is very photogenic📸On sunny days, you can enjoy a leisurely vacation in the seaside town while basking in the sun and drinking coffee☕️!
✅Movie location
Follow the downhill road all the way, you will pass the Robin Hoods Bay Bookshop, a beautiful bookstore, this alley is also very artistic~
Pass through to King St, the alley where the male and female protagonists passed is near📍The Haven, the entire road has a large slope, it is beautiful to take pictures!
Go further down to the seaside is another location📍The Bay Hotel, the boat at the door is very conspicuous, this is also the busiest place in the town, the open-air seats are full of people, everyone is drinking beer, chatting and singing, it is more atmospheric than the movie!
✅Beach Robin Hood's Bay and Beach
The town's sea view is beautiful! After strolling on the beach, you can walk back along New Rd, there are many small shops on both sides of the main road, you can really shop for a day~ If you are tired, you can go to Fish Box to eat fish and chips🍟, not only the fish and chips are delicious, the view of the open-air seats is also great!
In fact, it's enough to play the whole town in half a day, you can play with Whitby and Salt Burn Town along the way~
Although Ronbin Hood's Bay is very niche in China, and even few British students will come, but many locals come on vacation with their families~☀️
This seaside town is indeed more romantic than in the movie💕
