Dog-friendly attractions in Whitby

A 40%-scale replica of Captain Cook's Endeavour sailing from Whitby harbour, near the Magpie Café. The crew's own words: 'Sea dogs are welcome onboard FREE OF CHARGE' — though it's worth ringing ahead as sailings depend on weather and tide.

Steam across the moors between Whitby and Pickering with your dog beside you — there's a small charge for your pooch to travel, and you can hop off at halts like Newtondale for a leg-stretch on the way. Dogs are welcome on ordinary services but not on the dining trains, and Pickering station has a dog-friendly tea room waiting at the far end.

The gaunt clifftop ruin that inspired Dracula, reached by the 199 steps from the old town. English Heritage's facilities page states simply 'Dogs welcome on leads', so your dog can wander the headland ruins with you.
