Tips from the Community

June 13, 2026, 199 Steps, Whitby

If you want to go from the harbor to St Mary's Church and Whitby Abbey, you first have to climb 199 steps. This was formerly a particular ordeal for the pallbearers, which is why several platforms were built for resting. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitby
