Geocache Description:


This cache is placed in Whitby, close to Whitby Abbey which was built in the 7th century as a Christian monastery and later became a Benedictine Abbey.

The cache is located at the edge of the Whitby Abbey car park. From here there are stunning views over Whitby town itself and towards the Abbey.
The car park is open 24 hours a day. Parking charges apply between 9am to 6pm, and these are regulated by ticket machines. However, free access to the site on foot is available at all times from the town centre.


As part of the celebrations for a momentous occasion, the Makers invite you to an A-Z TOUR OF YORKSHIRE.

There are 27 caches, one for each letter of the alphabet plus a bonus cache, scattered throughout Yorkshire. As you travel to historic, panoramic, beautiful or just plain quirky locations, you will pass through some of the most spectacular areas of the county.

Enjoy your tour of Yorkshire, God’s Own County.

You can find the series in any order. Each cache contains a number you need to keep a note of as adding the first 26 sets of numbers together will give you the co-ordinates for the Bonus Cache, which is GC7JF9A. Heading to that listing page will give you information on the rest of the series.

This cache has been placed for the 10th Anniversary UK Mega Event - Yorkshire 2018
