惠特比历史悠久。 惠特比的东部是两部分中较古老的部分,也是修道院的所在地,是该镇的创始地,其历史可以追溯到公元656年。 在修道院附近的海岬上,有迹象表明早期的罗马灯塔和小型定居点,实际上惠特比的早期撒克逊名称是 仕德隆沙尔 意味着灯塔湾,它通向约克郡著名的克利夫兰国家步道。

通往修道院的199级台阶的底部是教堂街(以前称为Kirkgate),其鹅卵石铺成的街道和许多平房和房屋可以追溯到15世纪,当时众多狭窄的小巷和院子为走私者和青年团伙提供了逃离海关人员和紧随其后的新闻团伙的路线。 教堂街的起源甚至可以追溯到然而,早在1370年,修道院台阶脚下的住宅就已被记录在案。

热闹的集市可以追溯到1640年,至今仍吸引着摊主和游客。 集市旁边就是桑德盖特(Sandgate)(因其通往东沙并与之接壤而得名),这是一条繁华的大街,在这里仍然可以买到惠特比的喷射物。 从青铜时代就开始雕刻的猴子拼图树化石制成的珠宝,在维多利亚女王那里成为时尚。在她心爱的阿尔伯特王子于1861年死于所谓的伤寒后,她戴着它来悼念他。 在发现一个维多利亚时代的喷气机车间后,惠特比喷气机遗产中心拆除并重新安置了这个车间,让游客有机会体验惠特比遗产的独特部分。

惠特比西崖顶,今天被酒店、宾馆、度假屋和旅游景点所占据,曾经接待过一位非常著名的访客。 19世纪末,布拉姆-斯托克住在皇家新月的一家宾馆,他的著名小说《德古拉》的灵感来自惠特比修道院和周边地区。 事实上,小说描述了德古拉上岸时的样子。德古拉协会和一些小说迷仍然在每年的4月和11月到惠特比纪念这个人物几天。 他们穿着时代的服装在镇上闲逛,在每年的这几天里,惠特比仿佛回到了过去。

鲸骨拱门左侧矗立着詹姆斯-库克船长的铜像,这位约克郡人因对纽芬兰、澳大利亚、新西兰和夏威夷的探索和制图而闻名于世。 虽然他后来在皇家海军中升至著名的船长职位,但正是在惠特比,18岁的库克第一次作为商船的学徒被带入小型舰队。由当地船东约翰和亨利-沃克经营的船只。 因此,他们在葡萄巷的老房子现在是库克船长纪念博物馆的所在地,这也许是很恰当的。 来到该镇的游客还可以感受到库克的惠特比,因为他的著名船只的复制品。 奋进号 从惠特比港定期进行海上航行。
