Getting to Larpool Hall by Public Transport

There is a large train station in the centre of Whitby unfortunately there aren't many trains, only 2 or 3 per day. The trains go to Middlesbrough and Newcastle which is not very convenient if you are coming from London or the south.
I usually use the branch line from York to Scarborough and then catch a bus to Whitby. These buses are reasonably frequent. An advantage of this route is that you can get off the bus just before Whitby at Sainsbury's or Eskdale Road because you don't want to walk all the way up from Whitby to the house with your luggage.
The Esk Valley Line is very scenic but not the most practical route for most people.
A more practical route is to go via Scarborough. There is a branch line from York to Scarborough.
This line has a much more frequent service than the Esk Valley Line.
I think its worth considering staying over for a few nights at York or Scarborough, to break the journey, on the way to or from Whitby. There are Premier Inns or Travelodges at either.
I have put more details about staying at:
HF once had a house at Scarborough but not now (more on the Scarborough on the page here).
From Scarborough catch a bus to Whitby.

The centre of Whitby is very crowded and it is a long walk up to the HF house so it is best to get off the bus just before Whitby at Sainsbury's or Eskdale Road.

About This SiteHere is some information I have gathered together about getting to and walking from HF houses when leaving the car at home. On these pages I have also put some history about former HF houses I have visited. The information here is based on my visits to HF houses over the years. It may be out of date so don't rely on anything here without checking. If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost. This is information I have discovered over the years which would have been useful to know before. Unfortunately the travel information on the HF website, for getting to houses by public transport, is poor. I think it would be better if the information on this page were on the HF website. |
