Whitby

The historic seaport of Whitby is an alluring ancient harbour on the North East Coast of England. It’s no wonder that millions of people flock to dog friendly Whitby every year! From heritage coastline and blue flag beaches to the beautiful Abbey overlooking the seaside town. Whitby is not your average town, but it's the perfect base for a canine holiday within the UK. The combination of historical culture and a beautiful landscape means there is plenty of exploring to enjoy.

Trek through the expansive North York Moors National Park and see that tail wag. That's not forgetting the pubs and restaurants that operate with a pro-dog policy. During your trip, don’t forget to try Yorkshire’s legendary fish and chips, with the Whitby staple being a fan-favourite among visitors. Furthermore, there's a range of fantastic food, cosy cottages and surreal sandy beaches. There is no better destination for either an action-packed weekender or a relaxing retreat with the pooch. By the way, we hope your pooch doesn’t get spooked easy! In Whitby, there is a mythical tale of a black dog ghost - dubbed ‘The Barghest’ – that haunts the coastal town. Come and enjoy all the dog friendly things to do in Whitby!
