Ther e is a cliff lift fron the promenade on the west cliff down to the beach near to the Hands on Science exhibition building.
The fare is 60p each way with concessions (as at May 2006) and this saves a long walk down and especially back up on the very steep paths. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Northern Rail operate a reasonable service to Whitby from Middlesborough. The journey is scenic but slow and in the winter provides a lifeline to the town and villages along the route when the roads are difficult to use or even blocked.
On some weekends through the year the North Yorkshire Moors Railway operate a steam train service from their railway at Grosmont.
The local bus service is run by Arriva and there is a local town service and longer journey buses to surrounding towns including York, Scarborough and Middlesborough. Leave a Comment

Moors Bus is a summer only scheme operated to enable people without cars explore areas of the North Yorkshire Moors not usually served by bus.
The buses interlink reasonably well and fares are reasonably low. There are a number of buses with disabled access.
The website (which is very detailed and well thought out does need some navigating ) but this is a welcome innovation for the area. Leave a Comment

From my own travels I can really only recommend this way ot getting whitby.
From your location to York. Outside the station, you can get the bus from outside the station. The Yorkshire Coastliner is the bus to get. Buses are usually busy as the bus starts in leeds. Chek the website for the fares and the times. Leave a Comment

Turn off the A1 North onto the A64 York. Continue on the A64 past York, Castle Howard and then Malton. Turn left onto the A169 towards Pickering and Whitby passing Eden Camp.

There is train access into whitby the basic routes from the north running from middlesbrough, on the esk valley route.
The esk valley could also provide a fabulous trip on a steam train, with journeys starting from or leaving from whitby. The north york moors railway, runs trains throughout the summer, which stop at Grosmont and Pickering, other fabulous towns in the north york moors (covered on the north york moors page). The trains take in some fantastic views along the way and are an experience you wont forget.

For those with mobility problems, this is a good way to avoid climbing the steps to the Abbey.
You can also jump off, and wander round near the drop off points, then catch the tour later.
Although I didn't use this bus, people I met who had used it had enjoyed this way of seeing Whitbys sights! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
