Pannett park is just a small walk out from the main town up from the station. It is a very well maintained and interesting park with lots of flowers, trees and wildlife. The squirrels are very friendly! It is a nice leisurely walk through the grounds with various things to see on route, also make sure you head down to the flower clock and read the timeline.
A really lovely spacious park providing a bit of peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of Whitby. Beautifully tended and the museum (which is closed on mondays) is free to enter
Lovely little park, may be a bit steep for a few people getting to the top but well worth it. Very tranquil and peaceful. The Whitby museum sits in the grounds of the park and well worth the visit.
Well managed clean tidy. Lots of wildlife. Lovely play park for kids , nice place for picking
While I don't have green fingers myself, and I don't have a garden, I am always in awe of those who work hard to create stunning public spaces like Pannett Park in Whitby. The gardens are a really peaceful, colourful and well-kept attraction with 12 sculptures, flowers beds, rare trees, fossils and more! The park also overlooks Whitby and has some stunning views. If you love gardens, this is definitely one to visit if ever you are in Whitby.
