Phares de Whitby West Pier

Les phares de Whitby West Pier (ou phares du quai ouest de Whitby) sont deux phares situés au bout de la jetée ouest du port de Whitby, dans le comté du Yorkshire du Nord en Angleterre. Celui de 1831 est désormais inactif et a été remplacé par celui de 1914. Il ne faut pas les confondre avec le phare de Whitby situé au sud-est du port. Ce phare est géré par l'autorité portuaire de Whitby. Le phare le plus ancien est maintenant protégé en tant que monument classé du Royaume-Uni de Grade II.

River Esk, North Yorkshire

The River Esk is a river in North Yorkshire, England that empties into the North Sea at Whitby after a course of around 28 miles (45 km) through Eskdale. The name of the river is derived from the Brythonic word ‘isca’ meaning ‘water’. The Esk is the only major river in Yorkshire that flows direct into the North Sea; all other watercourses defined as being major rivers by the Environment Agency flow into the North Sea via the River Tees or the Humber Estuary.

Eskdale Anticline

The Eskdale Anticline is a dip-slip fault at Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. The anticline was thought to have stretched for approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) in a north–south direction underneath the mouth of the River Esk in Whitby, with a depth of 200 feet (61 m). However, modern geological studies have cast doubt on this, with a suggested displacement of only 12 metres (39 ft).

Whitby 199 steps

The Whitby 199 steps (also known as The Church Stairs and Jacob's Ladder), is a grade I listed structure between the Old Town and St Mary's Church, in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. The 199 steps have been recorded since at least 1370, and until the 1770s, were made of wood.
