Neighbourhood information

Oystercatcher Apartment is located one street back from Whitby’s bars and restaurants in one direction and the famous Whitby Whalebone Arch in the other making it a quiet but yet perfectly placed property to experience the local area.Whitby is an ancient port with a ruined abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’ while the port is still a working fishing harbour. It also has sandy beaches, donkey rides and rock pools, not to mention some of the best fish and chips in the world. Its narrow medieval streets are dotted with boutiques, shops, pubs and fish restaurants. The cobbled Church Street takes you to the foot of the famous 199 steps leading from the town to St Mary’s Church and the Abbey Headland and Visitor Centre. The Whalebone Arch and bronze statue commemorating Whitby’s most famous explorer, Captain James Cook, stand proudly on the West Cliff, facing directly across the harbour to the Abbey. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park and is the perfect location for keen walkers. The Moors are a special place, where history and nature have combined to give us an amazingly vibrant landscape. Pay and display parking is available just moments from the apartment.
