A Whitby angle on Christmas gifts
St Hilda founded a monastery on Whitby's East Cliff in 657, and in 664 it hosted the Synod of Whitby, which settled how the date of Easter was calculated in Northumbria. The ruins you see today belong to a Benedictine abbey begun in the 13th century.
Whitby sits on the edge of the North York Moors reserve: look east over the sea for moonrise, or head inland for dark moorland skies. For a stargazer, moon-phase decor, zodiac pieces or a star-sign stone suit the long December nights.
Whitby's gothic heritage suits dark decor, black stones such as onyx and obsidian, and Dracula-inspired gifts.
Local legend says St Hilda turned a plague of snakes to stone and threw them off the cliff, which is how the town explained the coiled ammonite fossils on its beaches. Whitby's ammonites even appear on the town's coat of arms.
Whitby jet. Whitby jet is fossilised wood from trees that grew around 180 million years ago, found in the cliffs around the town. It became fashionable after Queen Victoria wore it while mourning Prince Albert, and Whitby's jet workshops employed around 1,400 people at their peak. We don't sell jet; for a black stone in our shop, black obsidian is a volcanic glass, not a fossil. Read about black obsidian.
Local event: Whitby Goth Weekend. Held twice a year: in 2026, spring (1–3 May) and autumn (30 October–1 November).
Visiting over the holidays
- Whitby Abbey is run by English Heritage and needs a ticket; you can climb the 199 steps from the old town or drive round to the abbey car park.
- Goth Weekend packs the town; book rooms well ahead.
- Only collect loose fossils on beaches, and keep away from the cliff base, which is unstable.
