Additional Information

Some additional information about parking in whitby, to cater to all your parking needs

On-street parking
Whitby offers a pay and display area along the North Promenade, free 1-hour disc parking (e.g. Skinner Street), and free 3-hour disc parking areas that are shared with residential permit holders. Some streets are for permits holders only.

Scratch cards allow tourists to park all day in 3-hour disc zones (e.g. Crescent Avenue) or permit holder zones with a “W” marked on the parking sign. These are Whitby’s orange and blue parking zones. Scratchcards cannot be used in 1-hour disc parking areas. The cards are given out by guest-house owners and hoteliers and are valid for two or four days at a time.
Off-street parking
Car parks in Whitby mostly cost between £3 and £4 for two hours and tend to be free outside of 9 am to 6 pm Monday to Sunday. There are many car parks in town and a big open car park at Abbey Headland with 415 spaces.

Whitby has a mixture of long-stay and short-stay car parks. At Cliff Street car park, for instance, you can stay for a maximum 6 hours, whereas longer stays are possible at West Cliff car park and others.

Long-stay car park permits are available from the Tourist Information Centre in Whitby for 2-7 day durations at £8 per day. While these aren’t as cheap as scratch cards, they do make all the borough’s long-stay car parks accessible and spaces easier to find.

For a physical challenge, you can reach the abbey on East Cliff by climbing the 199 steps from Church Street. These are the same steps that Dracula bounded up disguised as a hound. You might also enjoy a guided Dracula tour in Whitby with the Dracula Experience Ltd.
