There's not even a direct train connection to York. Which would be nice for a day out. I haven't even been able to find out if there are bus connections to eg Scarborough.

York to Middlesborough, Middlesborough to Whitby. Then again, to get there from Scotland I had to change at Newcastle and Middlesborough.

Yeah there are buses from Scarborough to Whitby, my Sis's bf was taking the bus to Whitby when we were there on a hol. Trains are just Middlesborough to Whitby, about an hour and a half, as it goes down one route, reverses back up and round another route to pick up all the villages on the way. Nice but make sure you've got a good mp3/book for it if the weather's not too nice. Have a vhs of the journey [one of those "cab ride videos" for enthusiasts, and it still makes me smile when you come round a bend and "see" Whitby harbour]

As for Whitby itself, yeah, plenty of photo ops, and if you time it over the Regatta weekend, there's entertainment for a weekend, and the rest of the week to recover . Plenty of coffee places / pubs for when the weather's not too hot. I'll shush about Whitby now, been there 36 times, so I kind of like it .
