Whitby is a charming seaside town that I have been fortunate to stay in twice now. I'm always looking out for articles and TV shows featuring Whitby to reminisce. Certainly since my last stay, in September 2016 with my brother, I have learnt a lot more about activities and places I wasn't sure about trying. Here is my wishlist of activities to do next time I visit.
Whale spotting and fishing trip
These has been featured on a few TV shows I've seen. I was not sure about going on a whale spotting one in case it was just a money grabbing thing and you'd never see whales but seeing it featured on TV with sightings makes me feel like I will try in next time. Whales or no Whales. Also I found out that you can go out on fishing trips where you can handle the rods which I didn't realise when I saw them advertised. I miss fishing with my dad (he moved to Sweden and I haven't been over for 10 years) so it would be great to go fishing supervised again.
Bothams Bakery
A family run bakery. I have eaten their croissants before but they are famous for their lemon buns. I hear the best way to eat them is to pull them apart then sandwich the lemon surface in the middle.

Pannet Park Museum
I have been tempted to visit mainly just because it has the only known hand of glory in existence. I'll make time for it next time especially as Pannet Park is a lovely park too.

Ghost walk with Dr. Crank
Last time I visited I went on his Dracula walk which was very good value (£5 for 45 mins) and he clearly knew his subject. He made it interesting and funny for new fans and knowledgeable fans like myself. He does a ghost walk too so I want to do this next time.

Cleveland trail
Last time my brother and I walked to Robin Hood's Bay but he wanted us to walk the cinder trail which was the old railway line. I didn't want to walk too much so we got the bus back after a lovely lunch. This time I want to do the same again but walk the Cleveland trail back to Whitby.

Scavenge for jet on the beach
Watching one TV show, it was explaining how jet was mined in Whitby. They said that while jet isn't mined anymore, jet does fall off the cliffs onto the beach with erosion and you can scavenge for it. I have a pair of earrings with jet in and have got a scrap from a shop for a friend but would love to find some myself.
Are there any activities you think I should do that are missing from this list?
