THE WHITBY ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 2

St Mary's

You will first notice the climb to St Mary's, an Anglican parish church serving the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire England. The ascent is made via the Church Steps, which consist of a flight of 199 steps. Once at the top, you will find a church building designed in the Romanesque architecture style. Founded around 1110, the site is a Grade I listed building, having been designated as such on 23 February 1954. It is perhaps most famous for its surroundings; the church graveyard is used as a setting in Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula. This combination of the steep climb, the ancient stone architecture, and the literary connection makes it one of the most recognizable landmarks in the region for any visitor to the town.

RNLI Whitby Museum

Let me show you the RNLI Whitby Museum. It was founded in 1958 by people dedicated to preserving the history of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in this town. As a museum, it provides a space where you can pick out the tools and stories of those who risked their lives at sea. I've noticed the building keeps a watchful eye over the harbor, much like the crews it commemorates. It is a place where the bravery of Whitby's sailors is kept safe for every visitor to see. You will find that the exhibits capture the spirit of the coast, making it a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand the relationship between this town and the unpredictable North Sea.

Captain Cook Memorial Museum

Perched in Whitby, North Yorkshire, you will find the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. This history museum is located in a Grade I listed building known as Walker's House. The house belonged to Captain John Walker, the man to whom James Cook was apprenticed in 1746. It is a place of significant return as well; Cook visited Walker's House again during the winter of 1771–72 after completing his first voyage. Established in 1986, the site now operates as an independent maritime museum. I've noticed the climb up to the house gives you a great view of the town below, and the building itself feels like a step back in time. Whether you are a fan of naval history or just exploring the coast, this house provides a tangible link to one of the most famous explorers in history.
