Brilliant staff and access.

Very disabled friendly except: car parking by the entrance is only for four cars. There is further disabled parking but I found I had to go on the road for a short distance. Staff very helpful. Ramps to all stairs, lift between the exhibition floor and the shop/exit. Much of the site is grass, but this is well maintained and easy to navigate in a wheelchair. Overall, it was a very enjoyable visit.

ancient site with good accessibility

This is a must-see if you are in Whitby. It is owned and run by English Heritage. The site itself is mostly accessible and there is a new visitor centre which is fully accessible with a lift to the main site. The exhibits are all at a good accessible height.
