  • In this vlog we start with a visit to the lovely Robin Hood's Bay, which is known as a lovely fishing village! We then head to the famous Magpie Café for traditional fish and chips, followed by a hilarious battle with the local seagulls over our chips! 🐟🍟 You also can't be in Whitby and not stroll along the harbour and then climb the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey for stunning views. Walking through the city, we reached the very end of West Cliff where with some sweet treats we were soaking up the sun and sea with panoramic views 🏖️

    Dracula arrived in the UK via Whitby. He took the form of a dog when the ship came into Whitby and ran up to the abbey ruins where he lay low. Later he moved down to London. Bram Stoker chose Whitby because he was staying there and it made an impression on him.
    You aught to stop off at Berwick some time. Lots of nice little shops along Bridge Street and the Turkish Delight ice cream from Sugar Mountain is to die for. It is just a small town and you could probably combine a visit there with some of the nearby coastal villages. But if you are looking to do a fish 'n' chips tour of the UK then you need to come back Newcastle way and visit Seaton Sluice.

Whitby is such a charming little coastal town and honestly every Brit loves just going there for a day or longer to just stroll around the charming streets, eat theist fish and chips and immerse oneself into the sea sound and the view which is indeed incredible! It's the prettiest on a nice sunny day so hope you'll be luckier than us 😍🌞

    Two Robin Hood's Bay hidden gems:
    A lot of the houses on that bank running in from the slipway at Robin Hood's Bay had secret passages running between them to facilitate the import of smuggled goods up the hill.
    In the 1970s, there was a local yacht-racer who liked to win bets on whether he could drive his Lotus Esprit from the pub at the top of the banks down to the bottom, around, and back up again in top gear without stalling or changing gear! Such a 1970's macho man thing to do!

      The Robin Hood's Bay is actually a short drive out of the Whitby town but it's really worth visiting! We really liked Whitby because it had its own atmosphere - the port, tonnes of fish & chips eateries and interesting shops 🛍️🌊🐠 And the West Coast walk was just the most pristine as you could have ever imagined!
      We also particularly liked the other side, especially from the perspective of climbing 199 Steps with the stunning Abbey and the church overlooking the town centre!

    Always protect your fish n chips from seaguls. They dive bomb very craftily over your shoulder. I wasn't at all impressed by the fish n chips from the Magpie. The chips were too heavy to finish and the haddock was insipid. Two good fish restaurants in Scarborough are Wackers and Mother Hubbards. Both up in the town centre and never fail to impress.

      Yes, we could have done a better job hiding the Fish & Chips from the seagulls but when filming it was so difficult to do that! We've eaten in Scarborough the best cod and chips this simp from The Northbay Fisheries so would definitely check the other two places out next time around!

    Unfortunately, Robin Hoods bay suffers from holiday homes like so many small coastal towns and locals are being priced out of having a home in their local area. Captain James Cook sailed from Whitby to Portsmouth as he had learned his maritime training locally and was asked to do 3 explorations around the World which each lasted 3 years each time. He lost no crew to the then problem of scurvy by feeding his crews citrus to counter it. His maps he made of eastern Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania were so good they were still being used till the 1960's! Whitby fish & chips are the best in the UK.❤ You should have got 1 haddock and 1 Cod. Unfortunately this year the jet stream across the Atlantic has bent down between Britain and Ireland this year bringing fronts across the Atlantic instead over the top of Scotland so we have had more unsettled weather.

This year the Dubai government seeded clouds to drop their rain load in the city area to help the growth of vegetation and bingo our summer has been unsettled again. ( other countries in europe have been flooded too) So lets see how the French Olympics does weather wise. ( I do not know if they have seeded clouds though)

      Yeah, we agree that for a family meal it would come up to a big amount - although the portions wee huge! We were sharing that meal so it wasn't too bad :) And also to be fair, we've been to quite a few places around the UK and the Fish & Chips prices range from around 10/12-14/18 pounds depending on the fish or sides so I believe it's also inflation prices.

    If you eat outside you are just tempting the birds to take an easy feed. When I grew up in Scarborough we never ate out of doors, but had our fish & chips inside the cafes. In the 50s-60s in was considered uncouth to eat out of doors, except for a proper picknick. The birds have become much more of a nuisance since people got so messy with food & rubbish everywhere. No it's not always windy at Whitby any more than anywhere else. Dracula is fictional. Humans have invaded the natural home of the birds, & stolen most of their fish, they just are trying to survive. You haven't seen Scarborough when it's busy. It certainly isn't relaxed. You just hit a quiet day, with kids at school etc. At weekends & high summer it is totally packed with tourists. There is no such animal as a seagull. There are birds that live near the sea , including Terns, Puffins, Gannets, Guillimots etc, & there are Gulls. These are not the same thing, & a 'seagull' is not a real thing.
