I've holidayed here in the UK most of my life so I'm always a little surprised at the amount of places I HAVEN'T visited.
Yorkshire generally is one. I've spent a couple of short breaks near Malham and Settle in recent years, but this summer was time to head for the coast, specifically the Whitby area.
We stayed a little inland, in the village of Sleights on the river Esk, and parked up to take the Park and Ride bus into town. Sitting upstairs on the front seats certainly gives you on interesting view of things, looking out over rooftops. 
The town itself was very busy so we headed over the bridge and up the many. many steps to the abbey which dominates the area.
Both evenings we ended up at Sandsend just north of Whitby, eating chips and cake (not at the same time)
It's an area I'd definitely visit again, possibly for a longer period, as there are many more seaside villages and beaches to be explored plus the North York Moors inland.
