Coming over the moors into whitby is very scenic then going down the other side through little village then a few miles more you come into Whitby on the top road, you can park on the road side but there's a car park just off the side of road and it's cheaper ,the machine is easy to use and you still have a beautiful view .
Great location for the top end of Whitby above the cliffs. Good few activities for the kids too including crazy golf, bumper boats, trampolines, pedal go karts and motorised go karts. Ice cream shop and beach shop on the top too. 10 minutes walk down to the pier so also well located.
Was a bad idea to try to park there on Bank Holiday Monday. Complete chaos, cars crawling around hoping for someone else to leave, otherwise no spaces.Lots of dead ends with no space to manoeuvre, could have done with staff to direct traffic or at least have a Car Park full sign. It gave my wife a panic attack so had to bail, got a space at P&R instead.
My favourite car park in Whitby – close to the town centre, but also along the cliffs for lovely quiet walks. Free before 9am or after 6pm, which makes it a perfect place to stop for the evening to explore the town and its many delights. Not the cheapest sure, but long term parking becomes cheaper and 24hr parking is possible too. Oddly cheaper for coaches to park all day than cars! Takes coins or cards (no annoying apps!) and even better – out of season (before 1st March or after 31st October) there’s no charge at all!! Well overlooked and illuminated so you feel pretty confident about your car’s security too.
Plenty of space and can pay by card or by cash. Could only pay for 1, 2 or 6 hours, why not 3 or 4 hrs? 6hrs was £9.20 which was expensive when we didn’t want that long, but 2hrs wasnt long enough. Used this car park to walk on Whitby beach. If you want to use the toilets here at the leisure centre they charge you £1!!!
