And now I must give important teashop and cafe information.
The best places I found for tea and cakes in Whitby were the tearoom at La Rosa hotel (mentioned and linked to above). This is a wonderful room with great views across Whitby to the abbey. They do home made cakes and serve tea in a teapot with mismatched bone china cups and saucers. It's excellent and, for reasons I can't understand, never busy.
The other place I liked for tea and cakes in Whitby was Marie Antoinette's where we had some good coffee and cake. See:
The beach hut cafe at Sandside was excellent with home made cakes and good coffee. This is the cafe and its view of the sea:
But the best cafe in terms of decor was the Harbour Bar Cafe in Scarborough which was a vision in yellow formica. Really excellent coffee too.
They had fabulous original signage too:
ETA: Gah! I'm doing what I've always done which is to right click on photo, look at the properties and then copy everything after the http://. That then gets copied and pasted into the 'insert image' box. It's always worked up until now!!

You mean there are other ways to do it?(even though the filthy Yorkshires cook in dripping). Quality fruit cakes, too.
You let me down, see above for another vote of confidence
Glad you had a good time though
Any way, beautiful photos!
The rainbow in the grey sky is amazing
Thanks kittyP
Sorry, wasn't ignoring your comments. Am just getting frustrated at not being able to post photos!
Sorry Fuchs66
. I don't drive so couldn't insist on going anywhere really. I will go though; I'm definitely heading in that direction again soon.Quimmy - help! Where is this 'share this' function of which you speak?

What would Badgers do?
I've seen this on the map, but never stopped. Is it worth a look?
On the photo page click 'All sizes' above the photo, click the link for which size you want (probably medium), then copy the photo url from the bottom of the page (the one ending with .jpg).
Runswick was lovely. Here's some pics (I hope) to give you an idea. The Royal Hotel was an excellent pub where we had a really good lunch. It had a fire and sea views too. Heaven.

See now flickr has a bit that says ''share this'' which, logically, should be what you need if you want to share it. I don't know why people like flickr so much.
For some reason I can't do the right click on photo thing on this computer. I can at home.
It didn't used to be so complicated. Like I said, I just used to rightclick and copy and paste the properties. I don't know why they've changed it. This is so much more of a faff
I'll check the 'share this' bit on Flickr though. Hadn't noticed it before.

Looks quite nice, might call in next time I'm down that way
I think you get different options depending on whether you're logged in or not.
Forgot to say, we had fish and chips from Magpie Cafe and they were very good, but I think the ones from Mister Chips had the edge actually.

And we had kippers from Fortunes and they were excellent. Look at them, aren't they beautiful?

It looks like Eme and I might be heading up to Whitby and Scarborough for a winter weekend.
Obviously the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is at the top of my list (oh yes!) but is there anything else we should be looking our for in November/early Dec? Any recommended B&Bs?
What's Scarborough like?

Depends what you're after, Scarborough is THE stereotypical Victorian seaside resort.
Whitby's a bit quieter and Robin Hood's Bay beats them both hands down

Its been a long time since I was out and about in Whitby so I'll have to pass on the good pub bit as they tended to go in and out of favour all the time. I used to go to The Angel quite a lot in my younger days though.
I stuck with the pubs in Bay The Laurel being my favourite closely followed by the Bay Hotel and the Dolphin

I think they're replacing a bridge sometime soon, so they might not be running the full length of the line.
Scarborough is more of a summer town (classic seaside resort), so you'll probably find more stuff to do in Whitby at this time of year.

If you're there on the 5th December, you could look out for outstanding displays of drunkenness from supporters of FC United of Manchester
(and if you are going that weekend, get booking cos b&bs are filling up.)Lisarocket

Drop me a line when you're coming to Scarborough Ed. That's where i live now
Not entirely sure there's more to do in Whitby though...

My brother & I were reminiscing on the phone yesterday evening about a night in the Bay Hotel when he was so shit-faced he tried to raid the Sooty charity box because he needed 50p to buy a round.

Very cool indeed, except for the sherry
That food is crying out for a locally brewed ale

Beers alright with kippers but I reckon you need something with as bit more alcohol in it every now and then to cut through the grease (nice whisky for example).
Fortunes kippers are the best you can get though, they have to sell straight from the shop/smoker because they absolutely refused to comply with EU regulations (which would apparantly have led to them changing the produce itself) and couldn't therefore sell on to other retailers, meaning you have to queue down the street to buy them, and can be disappointed if they sell out, but its worth it.
How was it?

We went to Broadstairs instead seeing as the train fare worked out to something really ridicuous like £200/each.
Will prob go next Spring now.
