Welcome to this travel guide to Whitby vlog.
Whitby in North Yorkshire has been labelled as England’s Perfect Seaside Town, but do you agree? Let us take you on a guided tour from our first time In Whitby.
So what are the best things to do in Whitby? What are the top 10 sights in Whitby? Well, let us show you in this guide.
One of the many things Whitby is famous for is it’s connection with Bram Stoker and Dracula. Bram Stoker visited Whitby and started to write Dracula by taking inspiration of the stunning Whitby Abbey and the graveyard at St Marys.
Fish and chips are an important part of any seaside town, especially Whitby. We visit two of the most famous fish and chip shops in Whitby, The Magpie and The Quayside and do a taste comparison and review.
We take a lovely boat tour around Whitby’s harbour with Fisherman Pete.
We also take a visit to Saltwick Bay where we go searching for fossils.
We did so much more during our time in Whitby and we hope you will come along and join us in this travel guide vlog.
As always, we end up in a lovely pub to give a cheers to the day, but this time, we meet up with our good friends and fellow YouTube channel, Generation Xplorers.
We hope you enjoy this guide to Whitby vlog, and Cheers To The Good Times x

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint YouTube channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It’s just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

What a stunning place and you got to visit so much. But the highlight must have been meeting nick and Jill. Brilliant video (but not the joke 😅)
I love Whitby, I first stayed there in a b&b with my mate Neil, we were both 14 and the place we stayed were family friends of Neil's father. Great fun but the hills are killers. 🤣
Like deployed 👍
Whitby has so much to offer …try visiting at Halloween..
Whitby has it all, the best place on the coast full stop, enchanting in any season, I know because I'm always there 😀
Hi, wow great tour. Great town. Thank you and have a nice Sunday. Greetings Alex and Alex
Enjoyed the tour of Whitby, Rachel and Wills. Lovely town and shops. Loved the story about the polar bear but feel it' appropriate you pass right past the "John Bull" store right after, Rachel. Even the seagull was too confused by the "fish and Chips" review to swoop over and have a taste! Lovely beach but the "old fossils" are sitting right here. Cheers to the GenX times!
Nice harbour and all but how good can a sea side town be without a pier? 😉 It actually looks like a nice place to visit. I think you had me at 478 pubs. And fish 'n' chips. I've always wondered, and I have never bothered to google it, but does UKish fish 'n' chips have other stuff? Not just fish. And chips. I'm rather partial to battered prawns and scallops and calamari. When we get fish 'n' chips I mostly have prawns and chips and the rest of the fam has the fish and chips. Although Brandy is a chip off the ol' block and he eats prawns like they're something a lot cheaper now too. So can you get the good stuff too? I keep forgetting that Cap'n Cook was a Yorkshireman. Pretty sure the Hawaiians killed him because they couldn't understand his accent. Speaking of Cook, we actually have Cook's Cottage in the Fitzroy Gardens here in Melbourne. It was shipped here back in the 1930s and re-assembled like some big Lego set. Apparently he never lived there but his dad built it so that was considered a tenuous enough link to call it good. When I was a kid I thought he lived there when he moved to Australia. Cue sad music as we see waves wash over white stockinged feet in patent leather shoes with big brass buckles as the water flows red. Fade to black. RIP James. RIP.
Anyway, terrific video. Whitby may be England's best seaside town. I hate to say but it looks better than Rhyl. Sorry Wales. Which reminds me. I was born in New South Wales. Did you know NSW was named by James Cook? He thought the coast of NSW looked like Wales. I'm starting to think James was a bit of an idiot. Unless Wales does have Kangaroos, Koalas, gum trees and indigenous people waving spears when you sail by? Then there was that whole Hawaii thing. Who goes a beautiful peaceful south pacific island and pisses of the indigenous people enough that they kill him on the beach?
Anyway, again, terrific video. Loved the stuff about Stoker as well. Most excellent to see you catch up with the Gen Xers too.
😍🤩🥳🍤🍟🦘🐟🍻
Oh my great vid guys. Can you possibly get any better. This was truly brilliant. So love your style if vlog. And great to see the bird up. ( not you Rach ) 🤣. Good to see Nick & Jill too. Fantastic work as always. Massive support from us in Glos vegas. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❤️.
Brilliant! Absolutely love Whitby. There's just something so magical about it. Did you drive up and go over the moors?
Very fun tour! I enjoyed the details about Dracula and it would be awesome seeing the play. Loved the argument over the cat/dog but I have to agree it was a cat. 😂 Sad story about the polar bear but glad he didn't get killed by the angry villagers. Great area!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO! I want to visit!!! Very interesting history! You’ve given us it all Dracula, pubs and dinosaurs! Incredible drone shots too! So nice you met up with YouTube friends we’ll check out their channel!
In the last hour we just got electricity & internet! Cheers to electricity! ~Cara 🍻
What a lovely day you had in God’s own county ❤️ You guys are living life to the max. The river Mersey to the North Sea 🤣 We love Whitby; so glad you did too! It really is a travesty that you aren’t getting more views 😡 Your filming, content and editing is really good and you deserve more! Cheers to the good times 🍻
OH I never thought about putting Whitby on my 'to visit' list. It's right up there now. What a fab video. I felt transported from James Cook's New Zealand to Whitby. 👍🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿💖
Superb video guys, you really uncovered some fascinating information about the place, so much we didn’t know ourselves! You really did the miles and showed the place in a perfect light. Rachel, your retelling of the Polar Bear story was so good we have to agree its our favourite too. Well done on getting up so early to get those magnificent drone shots, i think you have been practicing! The Yapas looks really fun, we will have to try it! Well done on the fossil find, you uncovered that very quickly! Cant wait to see this again on the big telly when we get home, you have made our day even better! All our love, lovely meet up! Nick and Jill xx
Rachel and Wills, we loved this video. It was fun, we've visited Whitby and taken a boat out and it was cold lol even in Spring. Never knew about pirate (?) graves they looked fab. Loved the Polar Bear story, I can imagine it being very true. M&T
Lovely vlog both, another place I have never been but it looks lovely. Loved the drone shots, especially that beach at the end. Did they used to film the spin off from the TV series 'Heartbeat' titled 'The Royal' somewhere near there. I may be completely wrong. I visited Crosby Beach today to see the sculptures after a visit to Liverpool, I had not heard of them until I watched your previous video, so thank you also for that. 👍👍
Hi there what a good video like always keep up the good work
Fishing is easy when they just jump into the boat! Cheers Susan! Glas she returned to life after flying into the airplane. That's got to be the best place to see Dracula. Christmas cards!!! Wonderful drone shots over the abbey. Polar Bear is at least for Christmas. Maybe more. Excellent story though. Hilarious mug! Fish and chips look yummy! Go see First Class Wrestling lol. Dinosaurs! More beautiful drone work! Cheers to the good times! 🍻
Wow I would love to go there and explore Whitby I find it very old like you were back to another century but I find it very very lovely and interesting..what I love the most are the sea decks if I said it correctly 😅 and the busy streets and architecture! The old abey and church on top of the hill was like in the movies! I enjoyed everything about it thanks for sharing. Until next time bye
Hi, Rach and Wills. Thank you for sharing.
I like the way you edited this footage…spooky
Oh..yes. I love those little story-buildings sitting from shoulder to shoulder in a small cozy town.
Picture-perfect!!!…5:44..are those lighthouses offering a tour to go inside? or no longer in use?
Yay..Nick and Jill!!!…6:29
Excellent, beautiful footage…7:29>>>Wow…the size of the property of this churchi= is immense, isn't it?…7:55..so many tombstones…hmmm..mysterious crossbones…8:01…treasure may be under the ground!!???
Pirates or smugglers..>>>ancesters of Tea in Valhalla?..LOL..oh..tombstones without bodies…sorrowful
Of course, this Abby has a magnificent look…8:31
I totally love the polar bear story!
'Pac-Man"…Kayak7seas would love it!
What's an exciting activity…fossil hunting is one of the K7S and my hobbies as well…mostly shark teeth…mammal bones.
I hear somebody found a dinosaur footprint on that beach…at the lowest tide.
Well done. OMG, it is the complete guide of Whitby. I would love to visit someday.🥰🥰🚣♀🚣♀
Looks like we both had Whitby videos drop on the same day! We stayed at the same B&B and loved it! You two definitely won with the weather!
Beautiful sights! Nice and colourful town! Did you find the Dino 🦕 😊
Hey friends!! Another amazing video.. Thanks for sharing with us. Loved watching.
Stay connected friends.
Hi Guys, Whitby looks amazing and loved the incredible stories you told along the way 😊 great meet up with generation X and loved the fossil hunting at the end too 😊 great video
Hello, guys !! Well, it must be said that Whitby is absolutely worth a visit and a thorough visit too! It is a beautiful place, with so many things to do and see. Its streets are so quaint, just what I imagine thinking of a typical English town!
Characteristic pubs and … yapas with a good Moretti beer !!
And then the tour with legend Pete! Is beautiful, but it is extraordinary to climb all those steps and discover the Church and the Abbey in such a magnificent location, and the impressive cemetery.
Oh … Rachel, really interesting to know more about Dracula's story !!
And in the end, a delicious fisn and chips is a must! I love it!
Beautiful as always to follow you, my dear friends! I have fun with you and discover beautiful and interesting places. Never tired of following your vlog !!
Oh, Rach, I guess you'll have to deal with it … by now we will start seeing Christmas things around !! To Wills' delight! Hahaha
A HUGE like and embrace to you. HAPPY October, guys !! Renata
Now that's a neat area. There are annual pub crawls by many groups doing fundraising here in Halifax…I can see that the crawl would be an easy little joint here… The church and views from there are really something else. My goodness, all our coastal areas have such a "questionable" history…whales, polar bears…seals and cod here. Can you get a gluten-free batter…would love to have a great feed of fish and chips! Looks like you could spend many a day here and not retrace your steps…awesome! Bruce and Otis
A very long way from us in Australia good introduction of what its like there
big like👍Au👀always a full watch
Pete IS a legend! Do we REALLY believe that jumping fish story?🤔
Yapas?! I love the idea! Looks yummy😋
Very interesting Dracula connection! I had no idea!!
SO FUN to see Nick and Jill!💕
Love the drone footage over the church and abbey!👍
I have been wanting to visit Whitby … And definitely have fish and chips by the seaside! I love that you did a fish and chips taste test!!! Just my kinda thing 😉
Which chippy was recommended to you by Pete, Nick, and Jill?
Very nice vlog, beautiful😊 place👍
Hahah… well I know where I'm going when I want no end of pubs to choose from! I'm kind of in love with the idea of yapas… I'd try making up a platter of that for myself! The abbey was stunning to see, and that beach when the tide started to go out… my goodness. This looked like a heavenly place. Thank you so much for this Rach and Wills!
I love Whitby! Me and Joe had our honeymoon here, as its only 2 hours from us. We also took our Finnish friends there as they wanted to visited the Bram Stoker bench. Hope you treat yourselves to some Whitby Jet. We stayed at the White Horse and Griffin. lovely small gin bar! Never heard of the yapas 🤣
Ahh this is wonderful! You know, i've always wanted to visit Whitby, so beautiful, seasidey and historical! but now i've watched your video i 1000% am going to go. Loving the harbour tour!! So nice to see all the cobbled streets, rammed and nice and busy! Loving the abundance of pubs too! oo Yapas sounds nice. So cool to listen to your storytelling about Dracula, very very iconic! Whitby Abbey is incredible, can certainly see how it would have been an inspiration for Bram. wahey! Cheers! Loved this video, as much as i did seeing our lovely friends Nick and Jill!! <3 so glad you all had a lovely time! Great drone footage too! x
Absolutely brilliant. Lovey to see Nick & Jill 👍♥️
As I was watching my daughter said ‘That girl had a really good TV presenters voice’ 😁👍
God bless you in the name of Jesus amen!
I've visited Whitby several times. Such a fun and exciting place. Cool video
For me, they’d have to throw the cook at me too. Great tour from the boat. Love fish and chips. Stoker section was so interesting. It is a lovely beach. Love the old passages. What a lovely location. The drone footage was just lovely.
A very nice story telling about the places..No nice to listen everything you told.The day was so freat,,blue sky and pretty clouds…Thanks for sharing this.

Lovely day, beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing 👍
Ooh a little mini break to the seaside , what a treat, for you two and for us viewers! We have always wanted to visit Whitby, your tour around was so good we feel like we have now (although it's not quite the same as tasting the fish and chips for ourselves😋, a fish and chip review, had to be done!🤣🐟🍟). The Dracula info was fascinating, we are both huge horror fans, so that gives us another reason to visit👻😈. The poor little polar bear, we are just glad he wasn't killed by the village folk after that journey, amazing story and well recounted as ever Rach 👍🐻❄️. Ah there is Nick and Jill! More you tube royalty, they should have laid out the red carpet for you lot at the pub, or at least bought you all a beer🍻. This deserves thousands of views, as do all your videos, throughly enjoyed as ever. Have a brilliant week guys😊👊
