The Wheeldale is positioned on Whitby's picturesque West Cliff. A short walk from the Spa Pavillion Theatre, shops, restaurants and other town centre facilities, it's perfectly situated for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

Whitby has a rich and interesting history and evidence of it's past can be seen throughout the town. Whether it be the Whale Bone arch, Captain Cook's house, the Abbey and 199 steps or any of the other interesting and unusual features, there's something in Whitby for everyone.

Fishing can be enjoyed from the pier or out at sea on one of the many boats which line the busy harbour. The town still retains much of it's old charm and character, with Church Street and the market place still cobbled and lined with small, unique shops, cafes and restaurants. The sandy beach stretches from the harbour all the way to Sandsend (about 2 miles) and is a wonderful place to spend a lazy summer's afternoon.

The North Yorkshire Moors are only a few minutes drive away, May Beck, Falling Foss and Dalby Forest all make for a wonderful day out and for the keen walker there's a multitude of footpaths, bridlesways and of the disused Whitby to Scarborough railway to make use of.

The steam railway still runs between Whitby and Pickering throughout the summer months, winding it's way through the beautiful Esk Valley, stopping at many of it's villages on the way. The town also offers a public swimming pool and leisure centre, most modern high-street shops, 2 town centre supermarkets and many other ammenities.
