East  Cheshire Ramblers Weekend Away in Whitby
The Royal Hotel Whitby
Friday 16th to Monday 19th October 2026


We last had a weekend here in 2008 so time to revisit this delightful seaside town.Whitby is dominated by the cliff-top ruins of a beautiful 13th century Abbey. This quaint maritime town, with its old cobbled streets, picturesque houses and sandy blue flag beach, is set among fine stretches of coast with spectacular cliffs and bays including Robin Hood’s Bay and Staithes. The harbour is attractive and always has a variety of boats to view.  199 steps lead down from the Abbey to the old town where you find an array of unique shops offering local crafts, famous Whitby Jet jewellery, maritime memorabilia and antiques.  A short drive from Whitby one is out on the moors with the possibility of visiting the picturesque ‘Heartbeat’ village of Goathland or the steam railway as it makes its way through Levisham to Pickering.Getting to Whitby
On a good run it is about 2 and half hours from East Cheshire via the M60, M62, M1, A64 and the A169.  There are plenty of possibilities for a day out on the way for those who do not work on Fridays.  If you take this route you will pass around the York bypass, very close to Castle Howard or Goathland.  There are other routes avoiding the M62 which can be used.

Our Ramblers Wellbeing Walks are weekly, social, short walks for beginners, available in Crewe and Macclesfield for residents. Our walks are the perfect opportunity to get out, increase your activity levels and socialise in a safe environment. 

The Ramblers (or affiliated members) generate funds from Ramble Worldwide (formerly Ramblers Walking Holidays) bookings through partnership agreements, specifically receiving donations of £10 per passenger or up to £500 per group booking when users quote a specific code (e.g., RW24). This is in addition to direct discounts for the traveller, effectively acting as a charitable donation mechanism from the travel partner to the Ramblers.
