WHITBY
Welcome to Pub Trails - Whitby
One of the places visited that was so large and interesting that four trails were created for you to try.
Whitby is a large town on the Yorkshire coast 18 miles North of Scarborough. A fishing port at the mouth of the river Esk. It also has a large tourism industry with lots of hotels, B & B and self catering available. Always a big increase in people at weekend with day trips and special event weekends such as Regatta, Northern Soul, 60's, Goth (two) and Pirates.
The town also has connections with Dracula (hence the Goth weekends) and Captain James Cook. There is also an impressive Abbey on the headland. There is a long beach for the children and lots of fishing and boat trips.
The bulk of the town with station, main road, pier, beach and shops are on the west side of the river while marina and touristy shops are on the other side connected by an opening bridge to let boats out.
Pub Info
Whitby pubs -
None to stay away from.
Lots have some kind of outside seating – some attractively to the front, while others may be benches in a backyard with white walls.
Most pubs do food.
Lots of pubs are dog friendly and not just because they have outside seating.
Service is always polite.
Background music tends to be from 1960 to the turn of the century.
Quite a few are actually small (or boutique) hotels.
There is not a lot of premium lager - lager lads have to make do with the well promoted brands.

Answer at foot of page
Make it stand out.
Sherlock's favourite pubs for dogs
One of the best towns for dog friendliness - lots of pubs let me in. Shops and cafes are welcoming. Lots of water bowls around the town.
The Fleece is best for cuddles and meeting other dogs. The Little Angel Inn is good for dozing in. The Endeavour is very welcoming as is The Black Horse and The George Hotel. The Abbey Wharf and The Granby allow humans to eat with me.
There is a Sherlock’s cafe (no relation) which welcomes dogs..
