The area

Riverrun is located on the east side of Whitby, so you’ll find restaurants, shops and pubs in abundance a short distance away.

It’s on the East bank where you’ll find narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.

Venture over the swing bridge and you’ll reach the West side of town where you’ll be able to revel in the nostalgic seaside charm - head to the arcades or explore the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts.

Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland, some of which can be explored just a short distance away from Riverrun. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.

You’ll find restaurants, pubs and shops just in a short walk from Riverrun.

Whitby train station is located in the centre of town so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.

There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 and X94 travel along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.
